1
Q
How to identify phenols?
A
Weakly acidic
But no reaction with Na₂CO₃ so not carboxylic acid
2
Q
How to differentiate between ketones and aldehydes?
A
Ketones do not react with Tollens’.
Both react with 2,4-DNP
3
Q
How to identify alkenes?
A
Bromine water test
4
Q

A
Reaction with aqueous silver nitrate in ethanol
5
Q
How to identify primary and secondary alcohols?

Acidified potassium dichromate –> orange to green
6
