CHcl3 is an example of​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thanks for asking me such a question.

CH4+CL2=CHCL3(Mono-chloro-Methane)+HCL.

the above reaction is an example of chlorination.

Chlorination is the substitution of Hydrogen atoms by chlorine atom.

Explanation:

Chloroform (CHCl3) is made by taking methane adding chlorine and then heating the compound up until between 400 and 500 degrees Celsius. Methane (CH4) can be obtained from manure from animals when the manure ferments over time. Chlorine gas (Cl2) was invented in week 4. The chemical formula for this is:

CH4 + Cl2 à CH3Cl + HCl

After this, you take the CH3Cl, or chloromethane, and repeat the process with the chloromethane instead of the methane. This causes the products to contain progressively more chlorine:

CH3Cl + Cl2 à CH2Cl2 + HCl

Then repeat the process again using dichloromethane, and then chloroform respectively:

CH2Cl2 + Cl2 à CHCl3 + HCl

CHCl3 + Cl2 à CH4 + HCl

The products formed are: chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. They are then separated by distillation.

I hope this will help you.
