If your unknown alcohol is one of these eight known alcohols, which do you think yours is? Can you definitely identify it? Explain your answer using your test results and predicted results
Unknown Results -
Solubility Test:
- Slightly soluble
Ceric Ammounium Nitrate Test:
- Positive
Iron (III) Chloride Test:
- Negative
Chromic Acid Test:
- Positive
Iodoform Test:
- Negative
Luca's Test:
- Negative
The known alcohols tested in this experiment are:
- Ethanol
- 1-Propanol
- 2-Propanol
- 1-Butanol
- 2-Pentanol
- 2-Methyl-2-propanol
- 1-Octanol
- Phenol
Although you didn't carry out every test on all eight alcohols, you should be able to predict the results for the tests on the alcohols that you did not test.
If your unknown alcohol is one of these eight known alcohols, which do you think yours is? Can you definitely identify it? Explain your answer using your test results and predicted results.
Solubility is defines,amount of a solute that soluble in a given solvent.
A compounds solubility depands on polar or non polar or hydrogen interaction between solvent and solute.
Ceric ammonium nitrate test - it is used to predict the alcoholic group in a compound
Chromic acid test - primary and secondary alchol gives positive test and tertiary alchol gives nagative result
