Formula of Freon-112 is-
The nomenclature of Freon is dependent on the number of Carbon (), Hydrogen (), and Fluorine () atoms present in the molecular formula of Freon.
For example Freon-XYZ
Where,
X = Number of Carbon atoms present in freon molecule
Y = Number of Hydrogen atoms present in freon molecule
Z = Number of Fluorine atoms present in freon molecule
Explanation for correct option:
Determine the formula for given compounds:
(A) For , the values of XYZ will be:
X can be determined by the subtraction of number of Carbon atom present in the given Freon by 1. Thus, X will be:
Y can be determined by the addition of number of Hydrogen atoms present in freon molecule and 1. Thus, Y will be:
Z simply determines the number of Fluorine atoms present in freon molecule. For this compound, Z is 2.
Thus, the formula of this Freon will be Freon-112.
Explanation for incorrect options:
(B) For the values of XYZ will be:
X can be determined by the subtraction of number of Carbon atom present in the given Freon by 1. Thus, X will be:
Y can be determined by the addition of number of Hydrogen atoms present in freon molecule and 1. Thus, Y will be:
Z simply determines the number of Fluorine atoms present in freon molecule. For this compound, Z is 2.
Thus, the formula of this Freon will be Freon-012.
(C) For : the values of XYZ will be:
X can be determined by the subtraction of number of Carbon atom present in the given Freon by 1. Thus, X will be:
Y can be determined by the addition of number of Hydrogen atoms present in freon molecule and 1. Thus, Y will be:
Z simply determines the number of Fluorine atoms present in freon molecule. For this compound, Z is 1.
Thus, the formula of this Freon will be Freon-011.
(D) For , the values of XYZ will be:
X can be determined by the subtraction of number of Carbon atom present in the given Freon by 1. Thus, X will be:
Y can be determined by the addition of number of Hydrogen atoms present in freon molecule and 1. Thus, Y will be:
Z simply determines the number of Fluorine atoms present in freon molecule. For this compound, Z is 1.
Thus, the formula of this Freon will be Freon-011.
Final answer:
Hence, option (A) is correct.
