The document outlines various tests to identify functional groups in organic compounds, including tests for alcoholic, phenolic, aldehyde, ketone, and carboxylic acid groups. Each test is accompanied by specific observations and inferences to confirm the presence of these functional groups. The tests include ceric ammonium nitrate, Ferric Chloride, 2,4-DNP, Schiff’s, Tollen’s, Fehling’s, and Benedict's tests, among others.
