Talk:1,1,1-Trichloroethane

message: I am  concerned that your article indicates that trichloroethane is "relatively non-toxic" although studies confirm that inhalation triggers a syndrome known as "sudden death syndrome" whereby the concentrated inhaled vapors can sensitive cardiac tissues to catecholamine formation causing massive arrythmias and zero net cardiac output. The result, death. 208.11.188.26 16:24 Feb 1, 2005

message: Should we show up 1,1,1-Trichloroethane with CH3CCl3 rather than C2H3Cl3?
:Added the CH3CCl3. --Deryck C. 01:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chemical Formula 

message: In actual writing, we put the "t" in lowercase. Therefore name of this article should be "1,1,1-trichloroethane". I'm going to move this. --Deryck C. 01:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of article 

message: The article is in :category:greenhouse gases, but the article makes no mention of it. Is it really a greenhouse gas as well as being an ozone depleting gas? Tim Ivorson 2008-03-18 13:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Insecticide:  The article mentions that a citation is needed that this chemical is harmful to insects.  The http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/methylchloroform.html page lists it as an insecticide.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.51.70.94 (talk) 15:47, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion.  I have added the reference to the article.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:14, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

message: "1,1,1-Trichloroethane is generally considered as a polar solvent." Who does? It's a typical low-polarity solvent and does not dissolve medium or highly polar stuff. --FK1954 (talk) 20:08, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Polar Solvent?

message: The infobox simply gives the solubility in water as "0.4%" at whatever temp.,  and the source gives only this information too. So I went off to find a  more precise, equally reliable source -- http://www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc136.htm -- which gives 3 alternative measurements and in turn cites their originators, AND gives the **units used - g/dm3** (i.e. w/v).  If you're skilled at referencing, perhaps you'd like to change the info and citation over - it'd take me ages and I'd probably make mistakes. I'll mark the reference with a check template.

message: Is very similar to tetrachloromethane, not like chloroform , without the intense sweetness of chloroform. Halocarbons with CHX-groups have a sweet odor (chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane etc) cause the hydrogen of these groups forms a hydrogen bond to the "sweet"-receptors on the tongue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:9E8:4F6C:7B00:3499:4E52:D8FD:A5A1 (talk) 18:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You will have to get a source on its odor being closer to tetrachloromethane. Right now Pubchem states that it's chloroform-like based on NIOSH and the Department of Transportation. Maybe change it to "sweetish" based on the more recent Ullmann's encyclopedia 7th edition? @FK1954 maybe you have some insight, since it's been brought up before.

replies: text: How trustworthy these sites are? NIOSH writes here tetrachloroethylene had a chloroform-like smell, when in reality, it smells quite different from chloroform. ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ (talk) 16:47, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

text: Too bad, this substance is banned and you are unlikely to find someone that knows what it exactly smells like. Considering that CCl4 smells like chloroform, I don't really see a problem with "chloroform-like" here (but this description has been overused for every chlorinated solvent).
