Q.31 Chlorofluoro carbon (CFC) compounds of methane and ethane are collectively known
as freons. They are non-inflammable , extremely stable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and
low boiling liquids. CFC and gas emitted from the exhaust system of supersonics
aeroplanes might be slowly depleting the concentration of the ozone layer in the
upper atmosphere.
Answer the following questions :
1. Write the formula of freon.
2. Give two uses of chlorofluorocarbons.
3. How does freon-12 deplete ozone layer?
4. Do you think the use of CFCs should be banned? Give reason.
Q.32 Methyl chloride, methyl bromide, ethyl chloride and some chlorofluoromethanes are
gases at room temperature. Higher members are liquids or solids. As we have already
learnt, molecules of organic halogen compounds are generally polar. Due to greater
polarity as well as higher molecular mass as compared to the parent hydrocarbon, the
intermolecular forces of attraction (dipole-dipole and van der Waals) are stronger in
the halogen derivatives. That is why the boiling points of chlorides, bromides and
iodides are considerably higher than those of the hydrocarbons of comparable
molecular mass. The attractions get stronger as the molecules get bigger in size and
have more electrons.
i)Draw all the possible isomers structure of bromobutane and arrange them in
increasing order of boiling points.
ii)Even though haloalkanes are polar compounds these compounds are least soluble in
water. Why?
iii) How will you distinguish between chloroethane and bromoethane?
