Polyhalogen Compounds: Chloroform
1 question, with its answer.
-
Chloropicrin is obtained by the reaction ofChloropicrin is trichloronitromethane, $CCl_3NO_2$. It is used as a tear gas and an insecticide.
It is formed when chloroform is heated with concentrated nitric acid (nitration of chloroform):
$CHCl_3 + HNO_3 \rightarrow CCl_3NO_2 + H_2O$
So chloropicrin is obtained by the reaction of nitric acid on chloroform. (It can also be made from picric acid with bleaching powder, but not by chlorine alone.)
That is every question in Polyhalogen Compounds: Chloroform.
