  2. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    The chloroform molecule can be viewed as a methane molecule with three hydrogen atoms replaced with three chlorine atoms, leaving a single hydrogen atom. The name "chloroform" is a portmanteau of terchloride (tertiary chloride, a trichloride) and formyle, an obsolete name for the methylylidene radical (CH) derived from formic acid. [citation ...

    The study showed that indoor air concentrations significantly increase (8–52 times for chloroform and 1–1170 times for carbon tetrachloride, respectively, above baseline quantities in the household) during the use of bleach containing products.

  6. Trihalomethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trihalomethane

    Trihalomethanes were the subject of the first drinking water regulations issued after passage of the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act in 1974. [ 5 ] The EPA limits the total concentration of the four chief constituents ( chloroform , bromoform , bromodichloromethane , and dibromochloromethane ), referred to as total trihalomethanes (TTHM), to 80 ...

  7. Enthalpy of mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_mixing

    Enthalpy of mixing can often be ignored in calculations for mixtures where other heat terms exist, or in cases where the mixture is ideal. [2] The sign convention is the same as for enthalpy of reaction: when the enthalpy of mixing is positive, mixing is endothermic, while negative enthalpy of mixing signifies exothermic mixing. In ideal ...

  8. 1,2-Dichloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Dichloroethane

    It is a colourless liquid with a chloroform-like odour. The most common use of 1,2-dichloroethane is in the production of vinyl chloride , which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, furniture and automobile upholstery, wall coverings, housewares, and automobile parts.

  9. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1,1-Trichloroethane

    The organic compound 1,1,1-trichloroethane, also known as methyl chloroform and chlorothene, is a chloroalkane with the chemical formula CH 3 CCl 3. It is an isomer of 1,1,2-trichloroethane . A colourless and sweet-smelling liquid, it was once produced industrially in large quantities for use as a solvent . [ 5 ]
