Answer 1

Why Chlorophyll is stored in dark coloured containers?

Chlorophyll is kept in dark coloured bottles to cut off contact from light.

Chlorophyll is usually oxidised by aur in presence of light into extremely poisonous has called carbonyl chloride also called phosgene.

It is therefore stored in dark coloured bottles completely filled so that air is kept out.

2CHCl₃ + O₂ –> 2HCl + 2COCl₂

Answer 2

Hey mate!!!

$<b >Here is your answer ;</b >$


Chloroform oxidises in the presence of light, moisture and air into phosgene, which is actually a poisonous gas.

To avoid this reaction, chloroform is kept in dark coloured bottles in far contact with air, moisture and light.

The actual reaction is ;

$<b>2 CHCl<sub>3</sub > + 2 H<sub>2</sub >O ===>>> 2 COCl<sub >2</sub > + 6 HCl.$
