underset text chloroform CHCl 3+ HNO 3 longrightarrow underset textchloropicrin CCl 3 NO 2 Thus chloroform reacts with con. HNO 3 to produce CCl 3 ⋅ NO 2.

Q. Chloroform reacts with conc. $H N O_{3}$ to give

$C H C l_{2} N O_{2}$

$C H C l_{2} N O_{3}$

$CC l_{3} N O_{2}$

$C H C l_{2} . H N O_{3}$

$chloroform C H C l_{3} + H N O_{3} ⟶ chloropicrin CC l_{3} N O_{2}$
Thus chloroform reacts with con. $H N O_{3}$ to produce $CC l_{3} \cdot N O_{2}$ .
