Because of increasing evidence of damage to the ozone layer, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) production was banned in 1996. However, many older cars still have air conditioners that use CFC-12 (CE,Cl,). These air conditioners are recharged from stockpiled supplies of CFC-12. Suppose that 100 million auto- mobiles each contain 1.1 kg of CFC-12 and leak 25% of their CFC-12 into the atmosphere per year. How much chlorine, in kg, is added to the atmosphere each year due to these air condi- tioners? (Assume two significant figures in your calculations.)
