Chloroform is a sweet smelling liquid having freezing point -630C. and has boiling point 610C. it is the colourless non-flammable liquid that is insoluble in water.

Preparation ofChloroform

It is prepared by following methods.

1. From methane.

On an industrial sacle,chloroform is prepared by chlorination of methane.

CH4−→−−−−−−hv/Cl2−HClCH3Cl−→−−−−−Cl2/−HClCH2Cl2−→−−−−−Cl2/−HClCHCl3=(Chloroform)CH4→hv/Cl2−HClCH3Cl→Cl2/−HClCH2Cl2→Cl2/−HClCHCl3=(Chloroform)

2. From carbon tetrachloride.

Chloroform can also be prepared on the industrial scale by partial reduction of carbon tetrachloride with iron filings and stream.

CCl4+2[H]−→−−−−−−−Fe/H20/HeatCHCl3+HClCCl4+2[H]→Fe/H20/HeatCHCl3+HCl

3. From choral hydrate.

Pure chloroform is prepared by heating choral hydrate with a strong solution of caustic soda.

CCl3CH(OH)2+NaOH−→−heatCHCl3+HCOONa+H20CCl3CH(OH)2+NaOH→heatCHCl3+HCOONa+H20

Principle

Chloroform. is prepared in the laboratory by heating a mixture of Bleaching powder with ethanol or acetone. In this reaction, bleaching powder acts as oxidising chlorinating and hydrolyzing agent.

CaOCl2+H20→Ca(OH)2+Cl2CaOCl2+H20→Ca(OH)2+Cl2

Chlorine gas evolved from bleaching powder paste oxides and chlorinates ethanol. Moreover, it chlorinates acetone as well.
