The reagent used for the preparation of chloroforms is:
- Chloroform, or trichloromethane, is an organic compound with the formula CHCl₃.
- It is a colourless, highly fragrant, dense liquid produced in large quantities such as PTFE precursor.
- Reagents used in the preparation of chloroform are Ethanol + Smooth powder.
- Chloroform is prepared in a laboratory by the action of ethanol with a fine paste bleaching powder in water.
- The bleaching powder provides the chlorine and Ca (OH) 2 needed for the reaction; Cl 2 acts as an oxidizing agent and chlorination agent and Ca (OH) 2 is used as an alkali.
- Once made with acetone and bleaching powder, chloroform is now prepared for the photochemical reaction of methane with chlorine.
- Chloroform is prepared in a laboratory by heating a mixture of bleaching powder with ethanol or acetone.
