bromoform usage and synthesis |
chemical properties | colourless to yellow liquid |
general description | a colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. denser than water (density: 2.9 g / cm3 ) and slightly soluble in water. hence sinks in water. nonflammable. toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. a lachrymator. used as a solvent and to make pharmaceuticals. often stabilized with 1 to 3% ethanol. |
air & water reactions | slightly soluble in water. |
reactivity profile | heating bromoform to decomposition produces highly toxic fumes of carbon oxybromide (carbonyl bromide) and hydrogen bromide [sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 519]. reaction with powdered potassium or sodium hydroxide, li or na/k alloys, is violently exothermic [weizmann, c. et al., j. am chem. soc., 1948, 70, p. 1189]. explosive reaction with crown ethers in the presence of potassium hydroxide [le goaller, r. et al., synth. comm., 1982, 12, p. 1163]. |
health hazard | harmful if inhaled, swallowed, contacts skin or eyes or is absorbed through skin. it is a lachrymator, respiratory irritant, a narcotic and an hepatotoxin. prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis. inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat; provokes the flow of tears and saliva and reddening of the face. ingestion may cause dizziness, disorientation and slurred speech, unconsciousness and death. |
fire hazard | behavior in fire: may decompose to produce toxic gases and vapor such as hydrogen bromide and bromine. |
