it is reacting fast. so it is a better anesthetic.

Is alcohol better than chloroform?
information is less to answer. Both of them are polar compounds.
Is toluene more polar than Chloroform?
yes toluence is more polar than chloroform
Is the vapor pressure of chloroform less than that of water?
No, the vapor pressure of chloroform is higher than that of Water. The normal boiling point of chloroform is at 61 °C and approx. 39 °C lower than that of water. For calculating vapor pressures of chloroform and water at different pressures you could visit the links below.
Is chloroform more polar than ethyl acetate?
no
Is chloroform less volatile than water?
yes...

Who invented anaesthetics?
Salomon Nathans Dentz Jr is reputed to be the first person to use anaesthetic. The invention of anaesthetic, also called narcosis, is not that old. The first successful operation under anaesthetic was carried out in 1847. On that occasion chloroform was used. This method was slightly more effective than the ether that had previously also been used as an anaesthetic. Chloroform was used mainly by dentists to alleviate the patient's pain. For this purpose special anaesthetic masks were invented. The oldest known anaesthetic masks is that of the Amsterdam dentist Salomon Nathans Dentz Jr. Under the mouth and nose sections are sponges which hold the chloroform. This slowly anaesthetises the patient and keeps him under narcosis. Once the patient is unconscious the flap can be removed from the mouth and the operation can begin.
What is the gas called that puts you under in surgery?
Chloroform , but an anaesthetist will use other means than gas .

Why use chloroform in DNA isolation?
DNA is soluble in chloroform more than water. So we use it.
Is chloroform more polar than ethyl acetate?
no
Is chloroform less volatile than water?
yes...
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 chloroform soluble in water?
No they are not. Water will float on chloroform as the latter is more denser than the former.
When did queen Victoria use chloroform to give birth to her eighth child?
She gave birth to her eight child in 1853. She used chloroform as an anaesthetic. John Snow (who invented the chloroform inhaler which regulated the dosage of chloroform in 1848) gave her the chloroform, but used an open-drop method rather than the inhaler that he had invented.
Why chloroform is immiscible with water?
Chloroform (CHCl3), although it is polar, cannot form hydrogen bonds with water and thus the interactions between chloroform and water are too weak to be miscible. In addition, chloroform is significantly heavier than water and will form a bottom layer if mixed.
