Bromodichloromethane is a trihalomethane with formula C H Br Cl 2. It is a colorless, nonflammable liquid which will dissolve in water, or evaporate in air. [ 1] Most of the chemical is produced through the chlorine disinfection process, [ 1] and as a result it can occur in municipally-treated drinking water. [ 2]
Bromochloromethane or methylene bromochloride and Halon 1011 is a mixed halomethane.It is a heavy low-viscosity liquid with refractive index 1.4808.. Halon 1011 was invented for use in fire extinguishers in Germany during the mid-1940s, in an attempt to create a less toxic, more effective alternative to carbon tetrachloride.
Today it is used only as a laboratory reagent. Dibromochloromethane is also a disinfection byproduct, formed by the reaction of chlorine with natural organic matter and bromide ions in the raw water supply. As a result, it is commonly found in chlorinated drinking water. Also, it is able to reduce methane production in ruminants by 79 % [4]
Trihalomethane. In chemistry, trihalomethanes ( THM s) are chemical compounds in which three of the four hydrogen atoms of methane ( CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms. Trihalomethanes with all the same halogen atoms are called haloforms. Many trihalomethanes find uses in industry as solvents or refrigerants.
Bromomethane, commonly known as methyl bromide, is an organobromine compound with formula C H 3 Br. This colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas is produced both industrially and biologically. It is a recognized ozone-depleting chemical.
Bromoethane, also known as ethyl bromide, is a chemical compound of the haloalkanes group. It is abbreviated by chemists as EtBr (which is also used as an abbreviation for ethidium bromide ). This volatile compound has an ether-like odor.
Chloroform, [ 10] or trichloromethane (often abbreviated as TCM ), is an organochloride with the formula C H Cl 3 and a common solvent. It is a very volatile, colorless, strong-smelling, dense liquid produced on a large scale as a precursor to refrigerants and PTFE. [ 11]
