4399-08-0 Usage
General Description
2,2-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-tribromoethane, also known as DDT, is a synthetic organic compound that was widely used as an insecticide in the mid-20th century. It is a colorless, crystalline solid with a slightly chemical odor, and it is insoluble in water. DDT is highly effective at killing a wide range of insects, including mosquitoes, lice, and agricultural pests, and it was used to control diseases such as malaria and typhus. However, its widespread use led to environmental concerns due to its persistence and accumulation in the food chain. DDT has been banned from agricultural use in many countries and its use is restricted to vector control in some regions.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 4399-08-0 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,3,9 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4399-08:
(6*4)+(5*3)+(4*9)+(3*9)+(2*0)+(1*8)=110
110 % 10 = 0
So 4399-08-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
