Description and Uses
Bromoform is a colorless (turns yellow onexposure to air) with a sweet-smelling, chloroform-likeodor. Odor threshold=0.447 ppm. Molecular weight =252.8; Specific gravity (H2O:1)=2.9; Boiling point =149.5 ℃; Freezing/Melting point=8.3 ℃ (to hexagonalcrystals); Vapor pressure=5 mmHg at 20 ℃. HazardIdentification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):Health 2, Flammability 0, Reactivity 0. Soluble in water;solubility=0.1% at 20 ℃.
Bromoform is a colorless to yellow liquid with a density about three times that of water. It has an odor and sweetish taste similar to chloroform and is not combustible. It has been used as a degreasing solvent, in chemical synthesis, and in fire extinguishers, and is no longer used as a sedative for children with whooping cough. Currently, bromoform is produced only in small amounts for use in laboratories and in geological and electronics testing.
