How to make chloroform?
<|assistant|>
Chloroform can be made by a two-step reaction. In the first step, concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to a solutions of chloroform in ethanol or ether. The reaction yields a new salt which is filtered off and recrystallized. In the second step, the salt is heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). This reacts to make chloroform and releases water.
