CAS 56-23-5

:

Carbon tetrachloride

Description:
Carbon tetrachloride, with the CAS number 56-23-5, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor. It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon, primarily used as a solvent and in the production of refrigerants and propellants. Carbon tetrachloride is non-flammable and has a high density compared to water. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The substance has a relatively low boiling point, which allows it to evaporate quickly at room temperature. However, it poses significant health risks, including potential liver and kidney damage, and is classified as a possible human carcinogen. Due to its environmental impact, particularly its role in ozone depletion, the use of carbon tetrachloride has been heavily regulated under various environmental laws. Proper handling and disposal are crucial to minimize exposure and environmental contamination. Overall, while carbon tetrachloride has useful industrial applications, its toxicity and environmental concerns necessitate careful management.
