Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carbohydrates Flashcards
Aldehydes and ketones are simple
compounds which contain a ________, - a carbon -oxygen double bond.
Carbonyl Group
the carbonyl group has a hydrogen
atom attached to it together with either:
* second hydrogen atom
* a hydrocarbon group which might be an alkyl group or one containing a benzene ring
Aldehydes
TRUE OR FALSE:
The C=O double bond consists of one sigma bond formed by the overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals and
one pi bond formed by the overlap of parallel 2p orbitals.
TRUE
the carbonyl group has two
hydrocarbon groups attached.
Ketones
TRUE OR FALSE:
Aldehydes and ketones react
with nucleophiles
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
As the number of R groups around the carbonyl carbon
increases, the reactivity of the carbonyl compound
decreases
TRUE
What is the reagent of Tollen’s Test?
Ammoniacal Silver Nitrate
What is the positive result for Tollen’s Test?
- formation of elemental silver,
- accumulated onto the inner surface of the reaction
vessel, - producing silver mirror on the inner surface of
the vessel
Test for aldehydes
Tollen’s test
test for aldehydes and ketones
Reaction with 2,4-DNP
What is the reagent of Reaction with 2,4-DNP?

What is the positive result of Reaction with 2,4 - DNP?
formation of an orange or yellow oil
or precipitate
Another test for aldehydes and Ketones with a reagent of I2/NaOH
Iodoform Test
What is the positive result for Iodoform Test?
- formation of a pale yellow precipitate
- suspension of iodoform and a distinct smell
polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or substances that hydrolyze to yield polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketone
Carbohydrates
What is the formula for Carbohydrates?
Cn(H2O)m
TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES:
- consist of 3-7 C atoms

TRUE OR FALSE:
Disaccharides can be classified as reducing or non-reducing disaccharides
TRUE
TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES:
two monosaccharide units linked by a glycosidic bond
Disaccharides
Test for reducing sugars
Benedict’s Test
What is the positive result for Benedict’s Test?
- formation of yellow,
- yellow-green,
- orange or brick-red precipitate
What is the reagent for Benedict’s Test?
Benedict’s Reagent
What are the samples that we will be using for the experiment?
- Ethanal
- Propanone
- Glucose
- Sucrose
What are the measurements that we will be using for Tollen’s Test?
- 1 mL Tollen’s Reagent
- 2 mL of sample
1.
What are the measurements that we will be using for Reaction with 2,4,-DNP?
- 1 mL of 95% EtOH
- 2 drops of sample
- 0.5 mL 2,4 - DNP
What are the measurements that we will be using for Iodoform Test?
- 0.5 mL of sample
- 1 mL dH2O
- 0.5 mL I2/Kl Solution
- 10% NaOH dropwise until color disappears
What you will do after dropping the measurements on the test tube (Reaction with 2,4-DNP)
- Let stand for 5 minutes
- Shake
What are the measurements that we will be using for Benedict’s Test?
- 2.5mL Benedict’s Reagent
- 5 drops of sample
What you will do after dropping the measurements on the test tube (Benedict’s Test)
Heat in Boiling Water Bath for 10 minutes
TRUE OR FALSE:
Dispose of all other aqueous solution in the container
designated for aqueous waste. Any remaining organic
compounds must be disposed of in the appropriate organic waste container.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
Many derivatives of phenylhydrazine are suspected carcinogens and should be handled
with care. Avoid contact. Solutions containing 2,4-DNP
or derivatives formed from it should be placed in a waste container designated for these compounds.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
Dispose of any residues by acidifying them with 5% HCl and then placing them in a waste container designated for this purpose. On standing the reagent tends to form silver fulminate, a very explosive substance. Solutions containing the mixed Tollens’ reagent should never be stored.
TRUE
Consist of ten to thousands of monosaccharide units
