Carbon tetrachloride, also known by many other names (such as carbon tet for short and tetrachloromethane, also recognised by the IUPAC), is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CCl 4. It is a volatile, non-flammable, dense, colourless liquid with a chloroform -like sweet odour that can be detected at low levels. It was formerly widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to ...

Carbon tetrachloride is a clear liquid that evaporates very easily. Most carbon tetrachloride that escapes to the environment is found as a gas in the atmosphere. Carbon tetrachloride does not easily burn. Carbon tetrachloride has a sweet odor, and most people can begin to smell it in air when concentration reaches 10 parts carbon tetrachloride per million parts of air (ppm). It is not known ...
