Aim: To identify the functional groups present in an unknown organic compound.
Materials:
- Unknown organic compound
- Various reagents (e.g., 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, Benedict's reagent, Tollens' reagent)
- Test tubes
- Water bath
- Burner
- Safety goggles
Procedure:
1. 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) Test for Aldehydes and Ketones:
- Dissolve a small amount of the unknown compound in ethanol.
- Add a few drops of 2,4-DNP reagent.
- Heat the mixture in a water bath for 5-10 minutes.
- Observe the formation of a precipitate.
- Positive result: Formation of a colored precipitate indicates the presence of an aldehyde or ketone.
2. Benedict's Test for Sugars (Reducing Sugars):
- Add a few drops of the unknown compound to 2 ml of Benedict's reagent.
- Heat the mixture in a water bath for 5-10 minutes.
- Observe the color change of the solution.
- Positive result: A change in color from blue to green, yellow, or red indicates the presence of a reducing sugar.
3. Tollens' Test for Aldehydes:
- Add a few drops of the unknown compound to 1 ml of Tollens' reagent.
- Heat the mixture gently in a water bath for 5-10 minutes.
- Observe the formation of a silver mirror on the inside of the test tube.
- Positive result: Formation of a silver mirror indicates the presence of an aldehyde.
Observations:
Record the observations for each test, including the formation or absence of precipitates, color changes, and any other notable reactions.
Conclusion:
Based on the observations, identify the functional groups present in the unknown compound.
Safety Precautions:
- Wear safety goggles throughout the experiment.
- Handle chemicals with care, avoiding skin contact.
- Dispose of chemicals properly as per environmental regulations.
