79-34-5 Usage
General Description
1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane is a clear, heavy, non-flammable liquid chemical compound with a sweet odor, often used in the industrial sector. The formulation is derived from hydrocarbons, specifically, two carbon atoms and four chlorine atoms (C2H2Cl4). It is primarily utilized as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals and as a solvent in the manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries. Its density is heavier than water and it is insoluble, therefore it sinks into water. Despite its utility, it poses a potential health risk as it is considered toxic and can cause harm to the liver, kidney, and lungs when inhaled, ingested, or even upon skin contact.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 79-34-5 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 79-34:
(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*3)+(1*4)=65
65 % 10 = 5
So 79-34-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Determination of the rate constant of the reaction of CCl2 with HCl
Gomez, Nicolas D.,D'Accurso, Violeta,Manzano, Francisco A.,Codnia, Jorge,Azcarate, M. Laura

The rate constant of the reaction between CCl2 radicals and HCl was experimentally determined. The CCl2 radicals were obtained by infrared multiphoton dissociation of CDCl3. The time dependence of the CCl2 radic
Photocatalysis of chloroform decomposition by hexachloroosmate(IV)

Hexachloroosmate(IV) effectively catalyzes the photodecomposition of chloroform in aerated solutions. The decomposition products are consistent with a mechanism in which excited state OsCl62- reduces chloroform, rather than one involving photodissociation of chlorine atoms. Trace amounts of ethanol or water in the chloroform lead to photosubstitution to form OsCl5(EtOH)- or OsCl5(H2O) -, neither of which is photocatalytically active.
