Klorofluorosüsinike

Klorofluorosüsinike is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C2HClF3. It is a colorless, non-flammable gas that is commonly used as a refrigerant and a propellant in aerosol cans. The compound is a member of the family of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were once widely used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems due to their low toxicity and stability.

The production of klorofluorosüsinike involves the reaction of methane with chlorine and fluorine in the presence of ultraviolet light. This process results in the substitution of hydrogen atoms in methane with chlorine and fluorine atoms, leading to the formation of C2HClF3.

Klorofluorosüsinike has a boiling point of -29.8°C and a melting point of -153.6°C. It is soluble in water and has a density of 1.54 g/L at 20°C. The compound is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it a safe choice for use in refrigeration and aerosol applications.

However, klorofluorosüsinike has been found to contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs can rise to the stratosphere, where they are broken down by ultraviolet radiation, releasing chlorine atoms. These chlorine atoms then catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules, leading to the formation of ozone holes.

Due to its ozone-depleting potential, the production and use of klorofluorosüsinike have been phased out under the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer. Alternative refrigerants and propellants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrocarbons, are now being used in their place.
