Question

solid haloform at normal temperature.

Answer 1

The haloform reaction is a chemical reaction where a haloform (CHX3, where X is a halogen) is produced by the exhaustive halogenation of a methyl ketone (a molecule containing the R–CO–CH3 group) in the presence of a base.[1][2][3] R may be alkyl or aryl. The reaction can be used to transform acetyl groups into carboxyl groups or to produce chloroform (CHCl3), bromoform(CHBr3), or iodoform (CHI3).
