Answer 1

DCM's volatility and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds makes it a useful solvent for many chemical processes.[11]

It is widely used as a paint stripper and a degreaser.[14] In the food industry, it has been used to decaffeinate coffee and tea as well as to prepare extracts of hops and other flavorings.[15] Its volatility has led to its use as an aerosol spray propellant and as a blowing agent for polyurethane foams.

2. It can be obtained naturally from marine sources, large algae, volcanoes, and wetlands. Most of the methylene dichloride in the environment comes from industrial emissions.
3. The chemical formula for dichloromethane is $CH_{2}Cl_{2}$
4. Methylene chloride is a colorless liquid with a sweet, permeable, airy odor. Volatile liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon.
5. Although non-flammable, it can generate toxic chlorine gas at high temperatures. At higher concentrations, vapors have a narcotic effect. Usually used as a paint remover and solvent.
