Q

Can aldehyde and ketone hydrogen bond with water?

A

Yes, because although they don’t have polar OH groups, they have a lone pair of electrons on the O of the C=O group

Q

How can you test for an aldehyde with tollen’s reagent?

A
  • Tollens reagent is a colourless solution of silver nitrate dissolved in aqueous ammonia.
  • If it’s heated in a test tube with an aldehyde, a silver mirror forms after a few minutes

Q

How do you test for a carbonyl group using 2,4-DNPH?

A

-The 2,4-DNPH is dissolved in methanol and conc sulfuric acid.

  • It reacts to form a bright orange precipitate of a carbonyl group
