CORE EXPERIMENTS
Study composition of Fehlings soln, Tollens reagent
Do all carbohydrates give positive test with tollens reagent, fehlings soln etc?
No, only reducing sugars like, glucose,maltose
Types of sols(lyophyllic and lyophobic), preparation
eg. Ferric hydroxide sol, egg albumin, starch sol
How do you test for unsaturation present in the given organic compound?
What is Bayers reagent?
1% soln of alkaline potassium permanganate.
How will you test for phenol?
Neutral ferric chloride test.
6 C6H5OH + FeCl3 [Fe(C6H5O)6]3- +3HCl + 3H+
Give one test for carboxylic acid, alcohol,amine,aldehyde, ketone ( with eqn)
