      Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Iodoform, with the chemical formula CHI3, is\u00a0a pale yellow, crystalline, volatile substance known for its distinctive, sweetish odor<\/mark>.\u00a0<\/span>It is an organoiodine compound and was historically used as a disinfectant and antiseptic in medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Iodoform also known as tri-iodo-methane is prepared from acetone and iodine crystals in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution<\/p>\n

      CH3COCH3+4I2+4NaOH——>\u00a0 CHI3<\/strong>+3NaI+CH3COONa+2H2O<\/p>\n

      Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Dissolve 5g of iodine in 5ml of acetone in a conical flask<\/li>\n
      2. Add 5% sodium hydroxide solution slowly with continuous shaking until all the iodine color is discharged<\/li>\n
      3. Allow the content of the flask to stand for about 10-15 minutes<\/li>\n
      4. Filter off the yellow crystalline ppt of Iodoform though Buchner funnel<\/li>\n
      5. Wash with little water and dried between the filter paper and weighed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Observation: Yellow color precipitate obtained.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Result: <\/strong>Iodoform prepared successfully\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
