...Organic Chemistry Laboratory CLASSIFICATION TESTS FOR HYDROXYL AND CARBONYL CONTAINING COMPOUNDS ABSTRACT Hydroxyl- and Carbonyl- containing samples were tasked to be distinguished and classified respectively; the three types of alcohols were to be differentiated along with aldehydes and ketones. Hydroxyl groups are functional groups containing OH- atoms acting as substituents in an organic compound, carbonyl- groups refer to a divalent group consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom. Hydroxyl groups are characteristic functional groups of alcohols and phenols, while carbonyl groups are characteristic functional groups of aldehydes and ketones. The samples include ethanol, n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, and isopropyl alcohol. The samples were analyzed through different tests including the solubility of alcohols in water, Lucas Tests, Chromic Acid Tests (Jones Oxidation), 2-4 Dinitrophenylhydrazone (2,4-DNP) Tests, Fehling’s Tests, Tollens’ Silver Mirror Tests, and Iodoform Tests. Lucas tests differentiate primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. Chromic tests distinguish a sample’s capability to oxidize. 2,4-DNP tests differentiates aldehydes and ketones from other functional groups. Fehling’s tests and Tollens’ Silver Mirror tests distinguish aldehydes from other functional groups. Iodoform tests distinguish methyl carbinol and methylcarbonyl...

...Classification Tests for Hydroxyl- and Carbonyl-containing Compounds Miguel, K.D., Moron, R.S.S., Pazon, A.D., Ramirez, C.V., Raquepo, T.M.R., Razon, D.N.A.Jr. 2B-PH, Group No. 6, Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas, España Boulevard, 1015 Manila, Philippines Abstract In organic chemistry it is very common to see molecules comprised mainly of a carbon backbone with functional groups attached to the chain. The functional group gives the molecule its properties, regardless of what molecule contains it.[1] Examples of functional groups are that of hydroxyl (-OH) which is usually seen in alcohols, and carbonyl (C=0) which is seen in aldehydes and ketones. In this experiment, several tests were conducted to distinguish and differentiate various sample compounds such as ethanol, n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, n-butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, isopropyl alcohol, and acetaldehyde. The tests are the following: solubility test of alcohols in water, which gave a soluble result in ethanol, sec-butyl alcohol and tert-butyl alcohol. Next is the Lucas test, which is used to differentiate 1°, 2° & 3° alcohols. In Lucas test, tert-butyl alcohol gave an immediate turbid result; the rate of reaction was noted. Chromic Acid test (Jones Oxidation) which gave a positive result by producing a blue-green solution with the sample n-butyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, and isopropyl alcohol. 2...

...CLASSIFICATION TESTS FOR HYDROXYL- AND CARBONYL- CONTAINING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Group 3 2H Medical Technology Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Classification of Hydroxyl and Carbonyl containing compounds was done through different tests. The samples were n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, and isopropyl alcohol. Each of the samples were tested through solubility test of alcohols in water, Lucas test, Chromic acid test or the Jones oxidation test, 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone (2,4-DNP) test, Fehling’s test, Tollens’ silver mirror test, and Iodoform test. Solubility test of alcohols in water was used to determine the amount of water needed for it to produce a homogenous dispersion and determine whether what kind of alcohol is soluble and insoluble in water. Lucas test was used to differentiate primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols. Chromic acid test was used to determine if the sample is oxidized and can also be used to differentiate ketones from aldehydes. 2, 4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone test was used to differentiate aldehydes and ketones. Fehling’s test and Tollens’ silver mirror test was used to determine whether the sample is an aldehyde. Lastly, Iodoform test was used for classification of methyl ketones. INTRODUCTION Hydroxyl compounds are those containing the hydroxyl group –OH. They can be classified into primary(1o), secondary(2o), tertiary(3o) alcohols, and phenol...

...Date: March 9, 2015 Introduction: Aldehydes and ketones are two of several types of compounds that contain the carbonyl group. Reactions that occur because of the presence of the carbonyl group include nucleophilic addition reactions and base catalysed condensations. Aldehydes are also easily oxidized, which provides a convenient means to distinguish them from ketones. The carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones is highly polarized; the carbonyl carbon bears a substantial partial positive charge and is susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Further, since it is sp2 hybridized it is relatively open to attack. Because the carbonyl contains no good leaving group, addition occurs rather than substitution. Aldehydes and ketones are polar compounds; however, the pure compounds do not undergo hydrogen bonding as the alcohols do. Thus the boiling points of aledehydes and ketones are lower than alcohols, but higher than alkanes or ethers. Low molecular weight carbonyl compounds are water soluble. Tests used to classify aldehydes and ketones Question 1 Identify the tests used to classify aldehydes and ketones. For each test identify the reagent(s) used and tell what observations/ results are expected. Write equations to show reactions (where appropriate). There are various tests that can be used to identify aldehydes and ketones. Some tests can be used to identify the carbonyl group in compounds while others can be used to distinguish between and aldehyde and a ketone. 1)2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone...

As the population increases and the quality of fresh water declines, it has become an engineering challenge to supply sufficient potable water to the meet demands. Of the many unit processes and operations used in water treatment, coagulation and flocculation required a unique combination of chemical and physical phenomena for producing water acceptable for human consumption. Aggregation of fine particulate matter into larger particulates by the use of coagulation and flocculation facilities permits cost-effective removal in subsequent solid separation processes. Particulates inorganic origin such as clay, silt, and mineral oxides generally enter surface water by natural erosion processes and can decrease the clarity of the water to an unacceptable level. Organic particulates, such as colloidal humic and fulvic acids are a product of decay and leaching of organic debris and litter which have fallen in the water...

...Answers to Conceptual Integrated Science End-of-Chapter Questions Chapter 1: About Science Answers to Chapter 1 Review Questions 1 The era of modern science in the 16th century was launched when Galileo Galilei revived the Copernican view of the heliocentric universe, using experiments to study nature’s behavior. 2 In Conceptual Integrated Science, we believe that focusing on math too early is a poor substitute forconcepts. 3 We mean that it must be capable of being proved wrong. 4 Nonscientific hypotheses may be perfectly reasonable; they are nonscientific only because they are not falsifiable—there is no test for possible wrongness. 5 Galileo showed the falseness of Aristotle’s claim with a single experiment—dropping heavy and lightobjects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 6 A scientific fact is something that competent observers can observe and agree to be true; a hypothesis is an explanation or answer that is capable of being proved wrong; a law is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over and not contradicted; a theory is a synthesis of facts and well-tested hypotheses. 7 In everyday speech, a theory is the same as a hypothesis—a statement that hasn’t been tested. 8 Theories grow stronger and more precise as they evolve to include new information. 9 The term supernatural literally means “above nature.” Science works within nature, not above it. 10 They rely on subjective personal experience and do not lead to testable hypotheses. They lie outside...
