CCl4 is a colorless liquid. It is slightly soluble in water. Its melting point is -22.92 ̊C (-9.256 ̊F), boiling point 76.72 ̊C (170.096 ̊F), density 1.595 g/cm3. CCl4 is toxic. CCl4 is soluble in organic solvent such as alcohol, benzene etc. CCl4 can be used as a solvent to dissolve fat and oil and can be used in extraction.
Example Reactions:
• C + 2Cl2 = CCl4
• CS2 + 3Cl2 = CCl4 + S2Cl2
• CH4 + 4Cl2 = CCl4 + 4HCl
• CH4 + CCl4 = 2CH2Cl2
• CH4 + N2Cl4 = N2 + CCl4 + 2H2
• CS2 + 4Cl2 = CCl4 + 2SCl2
• CHCl3 + Cl2 = CCl4 + HCl
• CS2 + 2Cl2 = CCl4 + 2S
• CCl4 + 2HF = CF2Cl2 + 2HCl
• 2Cl2 + CH4 = CCl4 + 2H2
