62910-09-2 Usage
Molecular structure
A benzene ring with three chlorine atoms at positions 1, 3, and 5, two chloromethyl groups at positions 2 and 4, and a methyl group at position 6
Isomers
HCH has several isomers, with the gamma isomer being the most common and highly toxic
Classification
Persistent organic pollutant (POP)
Stockholm Convention
Classified as a POP due to long-term environmental effects
Uses
Primarily used as a pesticide
Toxicity
Highly toxic to humans and animals
Health effects
Exposure can cause skin and respiratory irritation, liver and kidney damage, and neurological effects
Environmental persistence
Long-lasting in the environment due to its resistance to degradation
Restrictions
Use and production have been restricted in many countries due to its toxicity and persistence
Physical state
Likely a solid at room temperature, as most chlorinated hydrocarbons are non-volatile
Solubility
Insoluble in water, but soluble in non-polar organic solvents like hexane or toluene
Boiling point
Not provided, but expected to be relatively high due to the presence of multiple chlorine atoms
Melting point
Not provided, but expected to be relatively low due to the presence of chloromethyl and methyl groups, which can disrupt lattice structure and reduce intermolecular forces
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 62910-09-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,2,9,1 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 62910-09:
(7*6)+(6*2)+(5*9)+(4*1)+(3*0)+(2*0)+(1*9)=112
112 % 10 = 2
So 62910-09-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
