Where will bromine be observed in an organic solvent?

Varies with different organic solvent with various density?

 

And what kinds of common organic solvent are toxic?

Dosen't bromine dissolve in organic solvents.

 

Well, ethanol is - everyone has seen the effect of being drunk. Methanol is toxic, lots of organic solvents are toxic :)

Almost all organic solvents are more or less toxic. Some are minor toxins, such as ligroin, acetone, diethylether, ethanol. Some others are more toxic, such as toluene, xylene, methanol. Some are very toxic, such as carbondisulfide, most chlorinated hydrocarbons.

 

However, all organic solvents must be treated with care. Repeated breathing of the vapors may lead to CNS-depressions, dullness, fatigue and other unpleasant things.

is 1,1,1-trichloroethane toxic?

its toxic but not very

It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon (it's also called "solventane") and I bet that it has carcinogenic properties. Its direct toxicity probably is not that high, but it may have some nasty longterm effects.
