Tetrachloromethane (Carbon) (Product Code: SCI-749/328) is an analytical reagent solvent — tetrachloromethane, also called carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) — used for extraction and halogen-identification experiments in chemistry laboratories. College and senior-school chemistry departments buy it in a 100 ml pack, supplied with its MSDS so that the hazards are documented before use. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry lab instruments supplier that also provides the glassware these practicals need.

Carbon tetrachloride is a dense, non-polar liquid that does not mix with water, so it settles as a separate lower layer. Teachers use this in the classic halogen displacement practical: after a halide solution is treated with chlorine or bromine water and shaken with a little tetrachloromethane, the colour of the lower layer (orange-brown for bromine, violet for iodine) shows which halogen has been released.
The same property makes it useful for showing that iodine dissolves far better in a non-polar solvent than in water, and for simple solvent-extraction exercises in a separating funnel. Tetrachloromethane is toxic and volatile: dispense it only in a fume cupboard, wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, keep quantities small, collect waste as halogenated solvent and check your institution’s rules on its use.
