उत्तर
When chloroform is boiled with aqueous KOH, it undergoes dehydrohalogenation, forming formaldehyde.
\[\ce{\underset{chloroform}{CHCl3} + 4KOH -> \underset{formaldehyde}{HCHO} + 3KCl + 2H2O}\]
The chlorine in chloroform is removed in the presence of aqueous KOH, and the remaining structure undergoes oxidation, forming formaldehyde (HCHO) along with potassium chloride and water.
