Description

Application
Chloroform serves as a solvent for extracting organic compounds in chemical synthesis for refrigerants like Freon and in labs for chromatography and nucleic acid purification. It was historically used as an anesthetic but is now restricted due to toxicity.

Purpose
Its main purpose today is as an industrial intermediate and laboratory reagent for dissolving substances and facilitating reactions while minimizing health risks through regulation.

General Description
Chloroform (CHCl) also known as trichloromethane is a colorless volatile liquid with a sweet odor and taste. It is denser than water and nonflammable commonly used as a solvent in labs and industry.
