Chloroform, [10] or trichloromethane (often abbreviated as TCM), is an organochloride with the formula C H Cl 3 and a common solvent.It is a volatile, colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid produced on a large scale as a precursor to refrigerants and PTFE. [11]
The following compounds are liquid at room temperature and are completely miscible with water; they are often used as solvents. Many of them are hygroscopic.
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 ...
Organochlorides such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, dichloromethane and chloroform are commonly used as solvents and are referred to as "chlorinated solvents". [ citation needed ] Physical and chemical properties
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive list of boiling and freezing points for various solvents.
Structure and properties Index of refraction, n D: 1.4459 at 19 °C Abbe number? Dielectric constant, ε r: 4.8069 ε 0 at 20 °C : Bond strength? Bond length [1]: C-Cl 1.75 Å
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
