Q

Test for primary alcohols

A

Warm solution with acidified potassium dichromate
Colour change from Orange -> green

Under distillation primary alcohols oxidise to aldehydes then carboxylic acids

Test for carboxylic acid: add sodium carbonate
If effervescence of co2 then it’s a primary alcohol

Test for aldehyde: Add Tollens reagent
If silver mirror is formed then it’s a primary alcohol
Add fehlings solution
If colour change from blue -> red precipitate then it’s a primary alcohol

Q

Test for secondary alcohols

A

Warm solution with acidified potassium dichromate
Colour change from Orange -> green

When secondary alcohols are oxidised under reflux a ketone is produced

Test with Fehlings and Tollens a negative results indicates the presence of the ketone and therefore it’s a secondary alcohol

Halogen In water With cyclohexane

Cl2 Green. Green

Br2. Orange. Orange

I2. Brown. Violet

33
Q

NaF and NaCl with sulfuric acid

A

NaCl (s) +H2SO4 (l) → NaHSO4 (s) +HCl (g)
Produces steamy HCl fumes

NaF (s) +H2SO4 (l) → NaHSO4 (s) +HF (g)
produces steamy HF fumes

HF & HCl aren’t strong enough reducing agents to reduce sulfuric acid so reaction stops

Not a redox reaction, oxidation states remain the same

34
Q

NaBr with sulfuric acid

A

NaBr (s) +H2SO4 (l) → NaHSO4 (s) +HBr (g)
Produces steamy HBr fumes

HBr strong enough to reduce sulfuric acid so it reacts further

Choking fumes of SO2
Orange fumes Br2

35
Q

NaI with sulfuric acid

A

NaI (s) +H2SO4 (l) → NaHSO4 (s) +HI (g)
Produces steamy HI fumes

HI strong enough to reduce sulfuric acid so it reacts further

2HI(aq) + H2SO4 (l) → I2 (g) + SO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)

HI strongest reducing agent so further reduces SO2

6HI(g) + SO2 (g) → H2S (g) + 3I2 (s) + 2H2O (l)

H2S toxic eggy smell
I2 purple gas/ grey solid

36
