An ice freezer behind a restaurant has a freon leak, releasing 31.68 g of C2H2F3Cl into the air every week. If the leak is not fixed, how many kilograms of fluorine will be released into the air over 6 months

Respuesta :

The weight of fluorine released in to the air over 6 month will be 0.365 kg

What is Freon ?

Freon is a non-combustible gas that is used as a refrigerant in air conditioning applications.

This freon undergoes an evaporation process over and over again to help produce cool air that can be circulated throughout your AC system

Total number of weeks = 6 x 4 = 24

Mass leak rate of freon = 31.68 g/week

Mass leak rate of flourine = fluorine mass in freon / molecular mass of freon x leak rate

                                          = 19 x 3 / 118.5 x  31.68

           

                                          =  15.23 gm/week

Total fluorine leak in 6 month = 15.23 x 24 = 365.72 gm = 0.365 kg

​

Hence, The weight of fluorine released in to the air over 6 month will be 0.365 kg
