Chemical compound
Fluoroethane (also known as ethyl fluoride) is a hydrofluorocarbon with the chemical formula C2H5F). It is a volatile derivative of ethane. It appears as a colourless, odorless flammable gas at room temperature.[3] Fluoroethane can also cause asphyxiation by the displacement of oxygen in air.[4]
