Question

Chlorofluorocarbons are more environment-friendly when compared to liquid ammonia as a refrigerant.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Both Chlorofluorocarbons(CFC) and ammonia in its liquid form can be used as a refrigerant. The problem with using CFC gas is that it is responsible for the creation of the ozone hole. The ozone layer is the atmospheric layer which protects us from the harmful radiation of the sun. Therefore using CFC is harmful to the environment. Hence we can say that the ammonia is more environment-friendly compared to CFC.

Therefore the statement "Chlorofluorocarbons are more environment-friendly when compared to liquid ammonia as a refrigerant." given to us is false.
