This is because in the presence of air chloroform is oxidised to phosgene. To prevent the formation of phosgene, they are stored in dark colored bottles.
CHCl3 + 1/2 O2 ---->HCl + COCl2.
Phosgene is represented as COCl2. This is poisonous.

How do you test for chloroform?
Do not test on it. it is harmful for the body.
How do you test a pure chloroform?
Chloroform is insoluble in water.You can check it with pure water.
What does bromine in chloroform test for?
unsaturation in a molecule
Can chloroform evaporate at room temperature?
Yes. If the chloroform is in a confined space, only a small fraction of it will evaporate, but if gas circulation sweeps away the chloroform vapor from contact with the liquid chloroform and there is an adequate supply of heat from the environment to maintain room temperature, eventually the entire sample will evaporate.
How do you make chloroform from bleaching powder?
BY HALOFORM TEST Acetone gets oxidized by bleaching powder. Chloroform is one of the products of the reaction.

How do you test the purity of milk using Archimedes principle?
Lactometer is a device used for finding the purity of a milk sample. It works on the principle of Archimede's principle that a solid suspended in a fluid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. If the milk sample is pure, then the lactometer floats on it and if it is adulterated or impure, then the lactometer sinks.
What functional groups does bromine in chloroform test for?
Alkenes
How do you determine the purity of sample of water?
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....i dont know
What indicators do the experimental result give regarding the purity of the sample?
After a detailed chemical analysis the purity is correctly evaluated.

What is Salkowski's test?
Salkowsk's test is a test for cholesterol;when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to a chloroform solution of cholesterol, the chloroform layer shows a red to blue color and the acid layer shows a green fluorescence.
