SUMMARY
Chloroform expands when heated from 5°C (41°F) to 35°C (95°F). The coefficient of cubical expansion for chloroform is approximately 1.1 x 10-3 per °C. Using this coefficient, the volume change can be calculated, resulting in a significant expansion over the specified temperature range. Understanding this property is crucial for applications involving chloroform in varying temperatures.
