The major problem with CFCs is that It is a greenhouse gas, Option A is correct.

<h3>What are CFC's ?</h3>

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine.

They are used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, blowing agents for foams and packing materials, as solvents, and as refrigerants.

CFCs are classified as halocarbons, a class of compounds that contain atoms of carbon and halogen atoms

The major problem with CFC's is that they are green house gases

It destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere).

CFCs can produce more than 10,000 times as much warming, pound for pound, once they are in the air.

It is not  only because of their dramatic warming potential  but also  

They were found to be the primary cause of the rapidly escalating destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer,

which protects the planet from dangerous, cancer-causing levels of ultraviolet radiation.

Therefore The major problem with CFCs is that It is a greenhouse gas, Option A is correct.

A 300-gallon anaerobic digester will be loaded daily with a feedstock that contains two parts dairy manure and one-part water by
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The volume of feedstock needed to mantain an organic load rate of 2 kgVS/day is 0.055 m3/day of feedstock.

The HRT is 20.6 days.

Explanation:

First, we calculate how many kg is 1 m3 of feedstock. We know the density, so we can calculate the mass:

M=\rho*V=37.5\frac{lb}{ft^3}*1m^3*(\frac{3.281ft}{1m})  ^3=1324.5lb=600.7 kg

If the VS are 6% in weight,

M_{vs}=0.06*M=0.06*600.7\,kg/m^3=36,0kgVS/m3

The volume per day needed to feed 2 kg of VS/day is:

V=\frac{2kg}{36kg/m^3}= 0.055m3/day=5.5litres/day

The HRT depends on the volume of the tank and the flow. Its equation is

HRT=\frac{V}{Q}=\frac{300gal}{0.055 m^3/day}*\frac{1m^3}{264.172gal}\\   \\HRT=20.6\,days

Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____. solids have greater frequencies the molecules in solids are very close
uranmaximum [27]
Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____.

answer is: because solids r the most sense.

The distance between molecules in solids r very small.Because they are so close, they can collide very quickly, i.e. it takes less time for a molecule of the solid to 'bump' into its neighbor. Solids are packed together tighter than liquids and gases, hence sound travels fastest in solids.
