why is CFCs used in refrigerators.?

Answer 1

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), along with other chlorine- and bromine-containing compounds, have been implicated in the accelerated depletion of ozone in the Earth's stratosphere. CFCs were developed in the early 1930s and are used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and household applications. These substances are non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-reactive with other chemical compounds. These desirable safety characteristics, along with their stable thermodynamic properties, make them ideal for many applications--as coolants for commercial and home refrigeration units, aerosol propellants, electronic cleaning solvents, and blowing agents.

Answer 2

CFCs Chloro flouro carbons are used to get the low temperatures.

it based on adiabatic process. when a GAS is compressed to high pressure and allowed to expand it absobs the heat from the surroundings and cools the surroundings and the gas gets the energy required for expansion.by repeating the process cyclically using motors very low temperatures are produced. that's how air conditioners and refrigerators work.

however CFCs are main reason for the ozone depletion. it's use is being discouraged.

Answer 3

becuase they keep things cold...
