The boiling point of pure chloroform is __________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 61°C
Chloroform (trichloromethane, CHCl3) is a colourless, sweet-smelling liquid that evaporates easily. Pure chloroform boils at about 61°C (61.2°C), well below water. It was once used as an anaesthetic and is now used mainly as a solvent.
