Synthesize Bromoform
Here, I will make Bromoform.
First, Measure out 10 grams of Sodium Bromide (NaBr). Then, measure out 125 mL of water. Add this to the Sodium Bromide and dissolve. Then add 205 mL of bleach (NaOCl).
The reaction is: NaBr + NaOCl → NaCl + NaOBr
After that, measure out 10 mL of water into a graduated cylinder and then add 4 mL of acetone. This will react with the Sodium Hypobromite to produce Bromoform (CHBr3).
The reaction is: 3NaOBr + (CH3)2CO → CH3COONa + CHBr3 + 2 NaOH
Thanks for watching!
