Question

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are widely used in air conditioners, refrigerators etc, because of being:

• A. highly reactive
• B. flammable
• C. non-reactive
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C non-reactive

Here the answer is wrong, and the correct answer is It is non-reactive(inert).

CFCs are non-toxic, chemically non-reactive, inflammable, and extremely stable near earth’s surface.

CFCs are generally non-reactive in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.

Hence due to its non-reactive nature, it is still being used in refrigerators, and air conditioners.
