Wear goggles in order to conduct the experiment safely.


To test for a C C (alkene) functional group add a few drops of aqueous
bromine to the compound F. The colour will change from orange to colourless.
Then prepare tollens by adding aqueous NaOH to aqueous AgNo . The tollens
reagent will be used to identify the C O functional group. Add this to
compound A. A silver mirror is found as a result of a positive test. To identify
the phenol, ad 2mol/dm NH solution to iron (III) Chloride. Phenols cause a
purple colour. This should be D. The primary or secondary alcohol will go from
orange to green with the addition of acidified potassium dichromate. This
shows an O-H group. This is compound E. The carboxylic acid will react with
sodium carbonate to liberate CO . This is observed by fizzing and highlights the
presence of C O functional group. This should be compound B. This means that
the remaining compound is C as every other compound has been determined.
