Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched? |
CCl4, Fire extinguisher CCl3NO2, chloropicrin CFCl3, Freon-II All are correctly matched |
All are correctly matched |
The answer is (4) All are correctly matched. CCl4, Fire extinguisher: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was once used as a fire extinguisher under the name pyrene. However, it is no longer used as a fire extinguisher because it is a toxic and harmful substance. CCl3NO2, chloropicrin: Chloropicrin is a colorless, highly toxic liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is used as a war gas and as a fumigant. CFCl3, Freon-II: Freon-II is a colorless, non-toxic gas that is used as a refrigerant and as a propellant in aerosol cans. Therefore, all of the pairs are correctly matched. |
