Chloroform extra pure
Description
Chloroform extra pure is a high-purity grade of trichloromethane (CHCl₃), a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, ethereal odor and tetrahedral molecular geometry where a central carbon atom bonds to one hydrogen and three chlorine atoms.
It has a molecular weight of 119.38 g/mol, density of 1.49 g/cm³, melting point of -63.5°C, and boiling point of 61.2°C, with low water solubility (~0.8 g/100 mL) but miscibility in ethanol, ether, and benzene. Extra pure grades minimize impurities like ethanol (stabilizer) and heavy metals for analytical, solvent, and extraction uses in labs.
Chemically nonflammable and stable but forms phosgene (toxic gas) on air/light exposure or oxidation; reacts with hot NaOH to yield formate. Highly toxic (carcinogen, CNS depressant, liver/kidney damage), handle in fume hood with gloves/respirator.
