Overview of Chloroform
Chloroform (CHCl3) is a colourless volatile liquid that is used as an agent, solvent, and chemical intermediate. It is highly valued due to its high stability, solvency, and controlled reactivity in industrial and laboratory processes.
Chloroform's chemical formula is CHCl3. The structure of Chloroform is composed of a carbon atom that is bonded by three chlorine molecules as well as one hydrogen atom. This makes it a great solvent for extraction and chemical synthesis as well as laboratory applications.
