Reagents And Titration Flashcards
Substance that is consumed during the course of the chemical reactionp
Reactant
A substance or compound that is added to a system in order to bring about a chemical reaction or see if a chemical reaction occurs
Reagent
A solution of hydrogen peroxide and an iron catalyst
Fenton’s reagent
Uses of fenton’s reagent
- oxidizing contaminants or waste waters
* destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
Used to differentiate between water-soluble carbohydrate and ketone functional groups
Fehling’s solutiono
Uses of fehling’s solution
- differentiate water-soluble carbohydrate from ketone functional groups
- test for monosaccharides
Color of final fehling’s solution
Deep blue
Two solutions of fehling’s solution:
- fehling’s a : blue aqueous solution of copper (ii) sulfate
* fehling’s b : colorless aqueous solution of potassium sodium tartrate (rochelle salt) and a strong alkali
Analytical reagent used to detect the presence of soluble proteins
Millon’s reagent
Positive result of presence of tyrosine (millon’s reagent)
Reddish-brown
A chemical reagent used to determine the presence of an aldhyde or alpha-hydroxy ketone functional groups
Tollen’s reagent
Composition of tollen’s reagent
- silver nitrate
* ammonia
Positive test of tollen’s reagent
Precipitation of elemental silver forming a silver mirror
Used to detect ammonia or primary and secondary amines
Ninhydrin
Positive test of ninhydrin
Deep blue or purple color - Ruhemann’s purple
Uses of ninhydrin
- detect fingerprints - terminal amines
* detect ammonia or primary and secondary amines
Used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds
Biuret reagent
Positive test in biuret reagent
Copper (ii) ions form a violet- colored coordination complexes in an alkaline solution
Chemical test that distinguishes aldose between ketose sugars
