All about iodoform?
Iodoform has the chemical formula CHI3; it is a crystalline solid, volatile, yellow, with a characteristic odor. Iodoform was used as antiseptic.
What are the physical properties of iodoform at room temperature?
Iodoform is a solid at room temperature; the melting point is 119 0C, the density is approx. 4 g/cm3.
What is a test for presence of coch3 group?
Use an Iodoform test
What is the triiodomethane reaction of phenol?
The triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction of phenol involves the conversion of phenol to iodoform in the presence of iodine and sodium hydroxide. The reaction proceeds through oxidation of phenol to benzoic acid, followed by further oxidation and degradation to iodoform. This reaction is commonly used as a test for the presence of a methyl group attached to a phenolic compound.
How do you account for the reactions of acetone and ethanol to Iodoform test?
equation: CH3CH2OH +4 I2+ 6 NaOH ----> CHI3 + HCOONa + 5 NaI + 5 H2O

What happen when iodoform falls on skin or nails?

Will methanol give a positive result in iodoform test?
Iodoform test is valid only for ethanol.
Is iodoform soluble in water?
no it's very very sparingly soluble in water .......iodoform soluble in alchol and chloroform .............
What does iodoform do?
Iodoform is the organoiodine compound which is a pale yellow, crystalline, volatile substance and has a penetrating odor. Iodoform is very useful in things like gauze because it's very absorbent and promotes healing.
What is the positive test for iodoform test?
Hi, Iodoform test is used for the detection of methyl ketones as methyl ketones give positive iodoform test. In this test, methyl ketone is treated with iodine (I2) in the presence of base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to give iodoform(CHI3 - a light yellow coloured ppt). Chemistry of iodoform test is: Secondary alcohols also give positive iodoform test because during the reaction conditions, it gets oxidized to a methyl ketone.
What is the chemical formula of iodoform?
CHI3
Is iodoform gauze the same as NuGauze?
No Nu Gauze is plain packing strips, Iodoform is NOT plain! These are 2 different things! The orders are NOT interchangeable!
Which one is more polar iodoform and chloroform?
Chloroform is CHCl3 and Iodoform is CHI3 . Since, chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, it should be able to attract electrons more towards itself. Therefore, chloroform is more polar than iodoform.
Is nugauze and Iodoform gauze interchangeable?
yes
