Which outcome occurs when halogenated refrigerant leaks into an open flame?

💡 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.
