Correct Answer: chloroform


Solution : The correct answer is chloroform.

Chloroform (CHCl 3 ) , known as trichloromethane , is a colourless, nonflammable liquid denser than water. When chlorinating drinking water, wastewater, and swimming pools, chloroform can form and be released into the atmosphere. Because it doesn't catch fire, handling it is safer than with ethanol.
