Answer 2

Answer:

Nitrochloroform (chloropicrin) and water are generated when chloroform combines with nitric acid.

Explanation

• In organic chemistry, Nitration refers to a range of chemical reactions that add a nitro group to an organic molecule.
• $HNO_{3}$ is the chemical formula for nitric acid, which is a powerful acid. It is colourless in its pure state, but as it ages, it takes on a yellow cast. The breakdown of nitric acid into nitrogen oxides and water produces this colour.
• When chloroform is treated with strong nitric acid, the hydrogen is replaced by a nitrogen group. Nitro chloropicrin is the end product.
• $CHCI_{3} + HONO_{2} ---- > CNO_{2} CI_{3} + H_{2} O$                    
•               Nitric acid                    Chloropicrin (Tear gas)
• chloropicrin is a chemical molecule that is employed as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, and nematicide.
• Chloropicrin is injected into the soil prior to growing a crop to kill a wide range of fungus, bacteria, insects, and other pests.
