Why were chlorofluorocarbons first developed?

1 answer:

5 0

CFCs and their associated compounds were developed in the early 1900s as a non-toxic, non-flammable solution to other more dangerous products such as ammonia.

Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, 35C1 Gsotopic mass 34.9689 amu) and 370 (isotopic mass 36.9659 amu). If chlorine

Lilit [14]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 34.9689 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 36.9659 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.4527 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.4527=[(34.9689\times x)+(36.9659\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.7577$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.7577\times 100=75.77\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.7577)=0.2423\times 100=24.23\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

On the atomic level energy and matter exhibit the characteristics of

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

On the atomic level, energy and matter exhibit the characteristics of both waves and particles.

Explanation:

The dual behavior of subatomic particles as waves and particles is known as the wave - particle duality.

And this principle is the basis of the quantum theory.

Such principle is widely applied to the electrons; i.e., the electrons posses wave and particle propeties, which must be understodd as that some of their properties may be explained as if they were particles and others as if they were waves.

For example, from the particle point of view electrons have mass. You can find in internet that the mass of one electron is about 9.1093837015×10⁻³¹ kg or about 1/1836 times the mass of one proton.)

Since, the point of view of the wave characteristics, electrons have wavelength, Louis de Broglie deduced the equation that relates the wavelength and the mass, through this realtion:

Wavelength (λ) = Planck’s constant (h) divided by the product of the mass (m) and the the speed (v) of the particle.
