Under normal conditions, a colorless, volatile, chlorine-containing liquid with an ethereal odor and a sweetish taste. Chloroform (in bottles of 1.5 kg) does not dissolve in water - it forms solutions with it with a mass fraction of up to 0.23%, - it is miscible with most organic solvents. Non-combustible If chloroform is stored for a long time in the light in a warm place, phosgene poisoning is possible when working with it.
In industry, chloroform is produced by chlorination of methane or chloromethane. The reaction mixture is heated to a temperature of 400-500 °C. In this case, a series of chemical reactions take place. This also happens when the mixture is illuminated with ultraviolet light.
The result of the process is a mixture consisting of methyl chloride, dichloromethane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. The separation of substances is carried out by distillation. In the laboratory, chloroform can be obtained by the reaction between acetone or ethanol and bleach.
The chemical formula is CHCl3.

As a result of the use of chloroform, there is a suspension of vital activity and growth of living organisms. Chloroform slows down or completely stops the processes of decay, alcoholic fermentation of sugar, which formed the basis of the anti-enzymatic and antiseptic properties of chloroform.
As an anesthetic, to reduce the harmful effects of chloroform, it is used in precise dosages and with plenty of oxygen.
