The correct answer is: Ammonia.
Ammonia (R-717) has a freezing point of -77.7°C (-107.9°F), which is the lowest among the options.
Here are the freezing points of the other options:
- R-11 (Trichlorofluoromethane): -111°C (-168°F), but it's already phased out due to its high ozone depletion potential.
- R-12 (Dichlorodifluoromethane): -157.6°C (-251.7°F), but it's also phased out due to its high ozone depletion potential.
- R-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane): -160.5°C (-256.9°F).
Ammonia is widely used as a refrigerant in industrial applications due to its excellent thermodynamic properties, low cost, and low environmental impact. However, it's toxic and flammable, requiring special handling and safety precautions.
