Description

Application
It is used as a solvent in laboratories for organic extractions in refrigerant and PTFE production and historically as an anesthetic. Current uses include grain fumigation and as an intermediate in chemical manufacturing.

Purpose
Chloroforms primary purpose is as a nonpolar solvent and reaction medium due to its ability to dissolve diverse substances though its toxicity limits broader applications.

General Description
Chloroform (CHCl) is a colorless volatile liquid with a sweet ether-like odor. It has a density of 1.49 gcm boiling point of 61.2C and melting point of -63.5C and is slightly soluble in water but miscible with organic solvents.
