Hello;
I am currently preparing my notes for future synthesis and I have a question about the choroform synthesis
I have this product:
it says 13% so I'm doing my calculations... (if i was good)
but then I see in the datasheet these details:
and so I'm confused... should I base it on 13%? 10%? 12.5%? according to these details...
so as not to have an excess of acetone

right?13% bleach is capable of releasing 13g of Cl2 per 100ml sample.
But 13 g of Cl2 is 13/71 mole of Cl2, so 0.1831 mole of Cl2.
However, to form chloroform, you need 3 times fewer moles of acetone. , so 0.1831/3 = 0.061 mole of acetone.
One mole of acetone weighs 36 + 16 + 6 = 58 g.
0.061 mole of acetone weighs 0.061 58 g = 3.54 g.
As the density of acetone is 0.792 g/ml, 3.54 g of acetone occupies a volume of 354 g/0.792 g/ml = 4.47ml
100ml of 13% bleach will react with 4.47ml of acetone
1L of 13% bleach will react with 44.7ml of acetone
the amount of chloroform CHCl3 will also be small. Indeed, 0.061 mole of CHCl3 will be formed.
1 mole of CHCl3 weighs 119.5 g
0.061 mole of CHCl3 weighs 7.29 g
As the density of CHCl3 is 1.59, the volume formed by 7.29 g will be 7.29 g/1.5 g/ml = 10.93ml
In summary, 1L of 13% bleach will react with 44.7ml of acetone to form a maximum of 109ml of chloroform.
but then I see in the datasheet these details:

so as not to have an excess of acetone
