  2. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    The chloroform molecule can be viewed as a methane molecule with three hydrogen atoms replaced with three chlorine atoms, leaving a single hydrogen atom. The name "chloroform" is a portmanteau of terchloride (tertiary chloride, a trichloride) and formyle, an obsolete name for the methylylidene radical (CH) derived from formic acid. [citation ...

  3. Salkowski's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salkowski's_test

    For Salkowski test's procedure one needs a sample, that is to be tested for sterols, as well as chloroform and concentrated sulfuric acid that represent Salkowski's reagent. Usually the solution of chloroform and the sample is prepared first and later treated with concentrated sulfuric (VI) acid. After that the whole solution needs to be shaken ...

    Organochlorides such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, dichloromethane and chloroform are commonly used as solvents and are referred to as "chlorinated solvents". [ citation needed ] Physical and chemical properties

  5. Sample preparation in mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_preparation_in_mass...

    Sample preparation for mass spectrometry is used for the optimization of a sample for analysis in a mass spectrometer (MS). Each ionization method has certain factors that must be considered for that method to be successful, such as volume, concentration , sample phase, and composition of the analyte solution.

    a mineral acid with many industrial uses; commonly used in the laboratory preparation of hydrogen halides Phosphorus pentachloride: one of the most important phosphorus chlorides; a chlorinating reagent. Also used as a dehydrating agent for oximes which turn them into nitriles. Phosphorus tribromide: used for the conversion of alcohols to alkyl ...

  7. Bromoform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromoform

    Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.

  8. Liebermann–Burchard test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebermann–Burchard_test

    The formation of a green or green-blue colour after a few minutes is positive. Lieberman–Burchard is a reagent used in a colourimetric test to detect cholesterol, which gives a deep green colour. This colour begins as a purplish, pink colour and progresses through to a light green then very dark green colour.
