The aim of this investigation is to find the functional group by carrying out simple chemical tests and, later, identify the organic compound by using the spectra.
Identification of an Organic Unknown Said Q.
I am given an investigation which I have to plan myself; it is about an unknown organic compound that is either an alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester or phenol. I have to suggest a series of simple chemical tests, which could be done in test tubes, to distinguish the functional group of this organic compound. I am going to be observing any change of colour, formation of precipitate or the evolution of gas when adding certain chemicals to this compound.
The aim of this investigation is to find the functional group by carrying out simple chemical tests and, later, identify the organic compound by using the spectra.
