← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when halogenated refrigerant leaks into an open flame?
A)Generation of corrosive hydrofluoric acid✓
B)Polymerization of the refrigerant molecules
C)Reduction in flame temperature and intensity
D)Catalytic conversion to carbon dioxide
💡 Explanation
When halogenated refrigerants are exposed to an open flame, thermal decomposition occurs because the high temperature breaks down the refrigerant molecules, releasing halogen atoms that react with moisture to form highly corrosive hydrofluoric or hydrochloric acid. Therefore corrosive acid results, rather than polymerization, reducing flame intensity, or catalytic conversion that require different chemical environments.
