Chloroform

A chemical supply firm can sell you chloroform. It comes in barrels, 175-gallon totes and tank cars. The government banned the sale of small amounts of it in 1976 because criminals were using it to render victims unconscious, but it's one of the ingredients in Teflon so if you are making things out of it, you can get it.

Chloroform contains carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. Its chemical formula is CHCl3.

The boiling point of chloroform is 61.2°C (142.2°F).

The enthalpy of vaporization for chloroform is approximately 31.4 kJ/mol.

Chloroform has been historically used as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. It has also been used as an anesthetic, although its use for this purpose has significantly decreased due to its potential toxic effects on the liver and kidneys. Additionally, chloroform has been used in the past as a recreational drug, but this is illegal and highly dangerous.

You would add the chloroform to the separating funnel and allow it to separate into distinct layers with the aqueous layer at the bottom. Gently shake the funnel to enhance separation and then carefully open the stopcock to drain off the lower aqueous layer containing water. The chloroform layer can then be collected separately.

Yes. the dipole moments cancel each other out in the tetrahedral arrangement

Formula: CHCl3

Chloroform works as a central nervous system depressant, affecting the brain and spinal cord by slowing down activity. It can result in anesthesia, sedation, and potential respiratory depression. Prolonged exposure can be harmful, leading to liver and kidney damage.

One gallon of chloroform weighs approximately 11.2 pounds.

Chloroform is not illegal to purchase or possess unless it is used in a crime. However, larger chemical supplies like Sigma will generally only sell to company address, or research institutions. Regardless, smaller quantities (up to 500mL) at a variety of grades (hplc, acs, etc) are available online. However, shipping hazardous materials through USPS is relatively expensive. I would suggest looking for a local chemical vendor, and explain why you need it.

No, chloroform is a colorless liquid used as a solvent and in chemical reactions. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for capturing sunlight for photosynthesis. Chloroform and chloroplasts are unrelated compounds.

*wheeze, thud*

cant tell i have a stuffy nose

Is it the new odourless chloroform?

Beeswax would likely remain closest to the baseline, as it is mainly composed of esters and hydrocarbons. Cholesterol would have a moderate Rf value, as it is a sterol and has some polarity. Phosphatidylglycerol, being a phospholipid, would have the highest Rf value due to its polar head group. The specific order and distances of separation would depend on the exact composition and conditions of the sample and chromatography.

Both chloroform and carbon tetrachloride have the same tetrahedral molecular geometry - there are 4 atoms attached to a central carbon atom. In chloroform, there are 3 chlorine atoms and 1 hydrogen atom. In carbon tetrachloride, all 4 atoms surrounding the central carbon are chlorine atoms. So the difference between the two is simply replacing the 1 hydrogen atom with another chlorine atom. In essence, by doing this, the density of the compound is increased, due to the increase in mass (remember a chlorine atom has an atomic mass of 35 and hydrogen an atomic mass of 1). The density of chloroform goes from 1.48 g/mL to 1.58 g/mL when you replace chloroform's hydrogen with that chlorine atom. Since there is an increased mass in a given volume (1 mL), it takes just a little more energy (thermal) to get carbon tetrachloride atoms from the liquid state to the gas state, which is why CCl4 has a bp of around 76 (while chloroform's bp was around 62). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boiling points are based on intermolecular forces. Stronger the forces, lower the vapor pressure, higher the B.pt. Chloroform has mostly dispersion forces and very, very weak dipole-dipole. The reason Carbon tetrachloride has a higher boiling point is because the combined effect of all the dispersion forces are stronger than the intermolecular forces that exist in chloroform. Dispersion forces increase with increasing molecular weight and # of electrons.

Astatine is slightly soluble in chloroform due to its similar halogen properties. However, its solubility is lower compared to other halogens like iodine or bromine.

Chloroform is a small molecule with low molecular weight and forms a liquid due to weak intermolecular forces. Iodoform is a larger molecule with more atoms, leading to stronger intermolecular forces that result in a solid state at room temperature.

Chloroform, also known as trichloromethane and methyl trichloride, is a chemical compound with formula CHCl3. It does not undergo combustion in air, although it will burn when mixed with more flammable substances. It is a member of a group of compounds known as trihalomethanes. Chloroform has myriad uses as a reagent and a solvent. It is also considered an environmental hazard.

Chloroform is sensitive to light and can degrade when exposed to UV radiation. Amber glass bottles provide protection by blocking UV light, which helps to maintain the stability and purity of chloroform over time.

Yes, chloroform is partially soluble in water, meaning it can mix to some extent with water but does not fully dissolve. This solubility depends on the temperature and concentration of both chloroform and water.

Samuel Guthrie in 1831. James Young Simpson first used chloroform during childbirth.

Chloroform was discovered by the American physician Samuel Guthrie in 1831.

Chloroform is a controlled substance and can be dangerous if not used properly. It is typically not sold to the general public. If you have a legitimate need for chloroform for research or medical purposes, you should contact a licensed supplier or manufacturer who can provide it to you with proper documentation and safety precautions in place.

The only possible way is to put it into special container and hand it over to specialists who have special equipment to incinerate it. These people deal with destroying also other harmful substances..

Other ways (burning, pouring into waste, and even letting it evaporate into atmosphere) are PROHIBITED by law and pose a serious threat to ecology and nature. Really!

Chloroform is one of the halogenated hydrocarbon and immiscible with water, thus extremely dangerous and harmful if wasted in standard way

Chloroform typically takes 5-10 minutes to take effect when inhaled, but the onset can vary depending on factors such as the concentration of the vapor inhaled and the individual's health and metabolism.
