I just found 30# of chlorodiflouromethane down the street all hidden behind a telephone pole? what is this? I think its some sort of refrigerent- can this be used as an anhy-amon substitute?

If you mean as a sub for anhydrous ammonia in a birch synth, then no. Absolutely not.

I think thats exactly what he means, and yeah, you can't.

Moving to Lab Tips.

Compressed Gas N.O.S. (Chlorodiflouromethane Mixture)

Appearance: Liquid and gas under pressure

Color: Brown

Odor: Slight musty odor

Molecular Weight not applicable (mixture)

Melt Point/Freeze Point: Below 32°F (0°C)

Boiling Point: less than 0°F

Vapor Pressure: 151 psig @ 25°C

Vapor Density: 3.03 @ 25°C (Air = 1)

Viscosity: 130 cps @ 77° F (25° C)

Specific Gravity: 1.23 @ 77°F (25°C)

% Volatile by Volume: less than 20%

You just found a jug (30lb.) of R-22. Used in about 80 to 90 % home a/c's. Usually comes in a light green colored container.

If the container was white, the refrigerant

would be R-12. R-500 is yellow..... BTW, if you find a white jug that is full, hang on to it. That gas is worth it's weight in gold!

Big bucks!!!

probally just some 13 year old kid tryind to blow something up with any chemical he can find
