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

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.

When KNO3 dissolved in water, what is the intermolecular attraction between NO3 ions

Snezhnost [94]

Ion-dipole forces

H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.

. the density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (v). densit

ale4655 [162]

Density is intensive because it is the ratio of two extensive properties that is mass to volume.

<h3>What is Density ?</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. S.I unit if density is kg/m³.

It is expressed as

Density = $\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ or $d = \frac{m}{V}$

<h3>What is Intensive Property ? </h3>

Intensive property is the property which does not depend on the size of the system. Intensive property can be easily identified. Intensive property is the independent property. The size does not change in this.

Example of intensive property are Density, Freezing point, melting point, colour, Lustre, etc.

<h3>What is Extensive property ?</h3>

Extensive property is the property which depend on the substance. Extensive property cannot be easily identified.

Example of extensive property length, weight, volume, mass etc.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Density is intensive because it is the ratio of two extensive properties that is mass to volume.

Disclaimer: The given question is incomplete on the portal. Here is the complete question.

Question: The density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (v)

density = $\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ or $d = \frac{m}{V}$

Considering that mass and volume are both extensive properties, explain why their ratio, density is intensive.
