  2. Carbon tetrachloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tetrachloride

    CS 2 + 3 Cl 2CCl 4 + S 2 Cl 2. But now it is mainly produced from methane: CH 4 + 4 Cl 2CCl 4 + 4 HCl. The production often utilizes by-products of other chlorination reactions, such as from the syntheses of dichloromethane and chloroform. Higher chlorocarbons are also subjected to this process named "chlorinolysis": C 2 Cl 6 + Cl 2 ...

  3. Dichloromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloromethane

    CH 4 + Cl 2 → CH 3 Cl + HCl CH 3 Cl + Cl 2 → CH 2 Cl 2 + HCl CH 2 Cl 2 + Cl 2 → CHCl 3 + HCl CHCl 3 + Cl 2CCl 4 + HCl. The output of these processes is a mixture of chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride as well as hydrogen chloride as a byproduct. These compounds are separated by distillation.

  4. Reaction intermediate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_intermediate

    CH 4 + 4 Cl 2CCl 4 + 4 HCl. However, this reaction has 3 intermediate reactants which are formed during a sequence of 4 irreversible second order reactions until we arrive at the final product. This is why it is called a chain reaction. Following only the carbon containing species in series: CH 4 → CH 3 Cl → CH 2 Cl 2 → CHCl 3 → ...

  5. Dichlorocarbene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichlorocarbene

    In 1835, the French chemist Auguste Laurent recognised chloroform as CCl 2 • HCl (then written as C 8 Cl 8 • H 4 Cl 4) [a] in his paper on analysing some organohalides. Laurent also predicted a compound seemingly consisting of 2 parts dichlorocarbene which he named Chlorétherose (possibly Tetrachloroethylene, which was not known to exist at the time.) [8]

  6. Standard enthalpy of formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_formation

    In chemistry and thermodynamics, the standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements in their reference state, with all substances in their standard states. The standard pressure value p⦵ = 105 Pa (= 100 kPa = 1 ...

  7. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    Industrially, chloroform is produced by heating a mixture of chlorine and either methyl chloride (CH 3 Cl) or methane (CH 4). [11] At 400–500 °C, free radical halogenation occurs, converting these precursors to progressively more chlorinated compounds: CH 4 + Cl 2 → CH 3 Cl + HCl CH 3 Cl + Cl 2 → CH 2 Cl 2 + HCl CH 2 Cl 2 + Cl 2 → CHCl ...

  8. Organochlorine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organochlorine_chemistry

    CH 4 + x Cl 2CH 4−x Cl x + x HCl. The most important is dichloromethane, which is mainly used as a solvent. Chloromethane is a precursor to chlorosilanes and silicones. Historically significant, but smaller in scale is chloroform, mainly a precursor to chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF 2) and tetrafluoroethene which is used in the manufacture ...

  9. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The bond angle for water is 104.5°. Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (/ ˈvɛspər, vəˈsɛpər / VESP-ər, [1]: 410 və-SEP-ər[2]) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. [3] It is also named the Gillespie-Nyholm ...
