Because of this symmetric geometry, CCl 4 is non-polar. Methane gas has the same structure, making carbon tetrachloride a halomethane. As a solvent, it is well suited to dissolving other non-polar compounds such as fats and oils. It can also dissolve iodine.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also known as the H-bond. For example, water forms H-bonds and has a molar mass M = 18 and a boiling point of +100 °C, compared to nonpolar methane with M = 16 and a boiling point of –161 °C.
A notable derivative of GeCl 4 is germanium dioxide.In the manufacture of optical fibers, silicon tetrachloride, SiCl 4, and germanium tetrachloride, GeCl 4, are introduced with oxygen into a hollow glass preform, which is carefully heated to allow for oxidation of the reagents to their respective oxides and formation of a glass mixture.
The following compounds are liquid at room temperature and are completely miscible with water; they are often used as solvents. Many of them are hygroscopic . Organic compounds
Organochlorine chemistry is concerned with the properties of organochlorine compounds, or organochlorides, organic compounds that contain one or more carbon–chlorine bonds. [1] The chloroalkane class ( alkanes with one or more hydrogens substituted by chlorine) includes common examples.
Carbon tetraiodide is slightly reactive towards water, giving iodoform and I 2. It is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. It decomposes thermally and photochemically to tetraiodoethylene, C 2 I 4. Its synthesis entails AlCl 3-catalyzed halide exchange, which is conducted at room temperature: [4] CCl 4 + 4 EtI → CI 4 + 4 EtCl
1,1-Dichloroethylene, commonly called vinylidene chloride or 1,1-DCE, is an organochloride with the molecular formula CCl 2 CH 2.It is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. Like most chlorocarbons, it is poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 1,1-DCE was the precursor to the original clingwrap, Saran, for food, but this application has been phased
