Chloroform is an organic compound with formula CHCl3. It is one of the four chloromethanes. The colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid is a trihalomethane, and is considered somewhat hazardous. Several million tons are produced annually as a precursor to PTFE and refrigerants, but its use for refrigerants is being phased out.
Chloroform reacts with 2 atoms of hydrogen to give methylene chloride and similarly chloroform reacts with multiple hydrogen atoms to produce the desired products.
Reduction of Chloroform is a very important topic in chemistry and in this video Mr. Lalit Sardana (IIT-JEE AIR 243) will help you clear your doubts. He has taken up all the related information that is required to help students understand the reduction process. These videos are useful in the JEE mains, JEE Advanced, EAMCET, KCET, WBJEE, etc. Watch the videos now and if you want to see more of these videos subscribe our channel.
