Carbon tetrachloride by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as tetrachloromethane, this a compound of chlorine and carbon. The reagent is available as a colourless liquid which is soluble in alcohol. It has a melting point at 22.92 C and a boiling point of 76.72 C. Carbon tetrachloride is generally obtained by reacting methane with chlorine. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 56-23-5 Quantity Provided: 250 ml per bottle Molecular formula: CCl4 Molecular weight: 153.82 Assay: Minimum 99 %Carbon tetrachloride has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Carbon tetrachloride is a key component in various lava lamps. It was also a popular solvent in organic chemistry which changed due to health concerns. Similarly, carbon tetrachloride used to be employed for the productions of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants R-11 and R-12. It also finds use in stamp collecting, to reveal watermarks on postage stamps without damaging them. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
