CARBON TETRACHLORIDE HPLC
Carbon tetrachloride, also known by many other names is
an organic compound with the chemical formula CCl4.
used in the production of refrigeration fluid and propellants for aerosol cans, as a pesticide
Because it has no C–H bonds, carbon tetrachloride does not easily undergo free-radical reactions. It is a useful solvent for halogenations either by the elemental halogen or by a halogenation reagent such as N-bromosuccinimide
2.2 Carbon Tetrachloride (Tetrachloromethane) Carbon tetrachloride is commonly used as a chemical intermediate, solvent, and dry-cleaning fluid. Human exposure to carbon tetrachloride from occupational or environmental sources is low and unlikely to produce acute kidney toxicity.
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a liquid at room temperature and pressure, whereas ammonia (NH3) is a gas.
