Welcome to Episode 6 of Molecular Playground! I perform haloform reaction by creating chloroform from two common substances: acetone and pool chlorinating liquid. It's not just an experiment; it's a journey into the heart of organic chemistry!

Mixing acetone with sodium hypochlorite initiates a chemical reaction known as the haloform reaction which leads to the formation of chloroform. This reaction isn't just about combining ingredients; it's a perfect example of how halogenation works in organic compounds!

Warning:
Chloroform is extremely pungent and a powerful solvent! Handle with gloves and plenty of ventilation!
