Answer 1

Explanation: When Chloroform is exposed to air, it undergoes oxidation releasing a toxic gas that is Phosgene gas and Hydrochloric acid.

Reaction of oxidation of chloroform is:

$2CHCl_3(l)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2COCl_2(g)+2HCl(g)$

As chloroform toxic gas when it is exposed to air and sunlight, therefore it is kept in dark bottles to prevent any oxidation process.
