Analysis of Alcohols‚ Aldehydes and Ketones Karl Wayne Mancao‚ Raphaell Mordeno‚ Andres Pastrana III*‚ and Shannen Peñaverde Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract The proponents have done several tests for identifying alcohols‚ aldehydes and ketones. These tests are Dichromate test‚ Tollens test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test and Iodoform test. Three samples got positive result in dichromate test and one in Tollens test. Lucas test got one sample that has

Marijuana vs. Alcohol Is marijuana safer than alcohol‚ many people will say that marijuana is a dangerous and addictive drug that has destroyed many lives of teens and adults. It can lead to lung disease‚ heart disease and more importantly can influence the use of harder drugs such as cocaine‚ heroin and PCP. Alcohol on the other hand may not cause lung cancer‚ it’s simply a social indulgent. In my opinion‚ I believe that both marijuana and alcohol are equals. Use of both carry health risks

This experiment explores these techniques to identify an unknown amino acid by TLC and analyze food colors using paper chromatography. By using 2.0 mL of dimethoxyethane and 18 mL of absolute ethanol as the developing solution‚ and then spotting each sample of amino acids and an unknown on the silica gel chromatography plate‚ we began the process of TLC plating. The ninhydrin solution was sprayed on the chromatography plate and allowed to dry. After allowing the solution to dry‚ we outlined the spots

Post lab Questions 1. 3-decanone will have a higher Rf value than 3-decanol‚ toluene will have a higher Rf value than benzoic acid‚ and cyclooctane will have a higher Rf value than cycloctanone. This is because they are not as polar as the compounds with lower Rf values‚ the compounds that are most polar tend to stay longer with the polar adsorbent‚ while the least polar compound travels with the eluent that is lower in polarity. 2. TLC in today’s experiment stands for Thin Layer Chromatography.

ALDEHYDES AND KETONES Abstract Aldehydes and Ketones have certain characteristics in common. However‚ both couldn’t exist in the same compound. Some test for the presence of aldehyde was made for this experiment. These tests includes Tollen’s test‚ Benedict’s Test‚ 2-4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and Schiff’s test. All the tests conduted yielded same results‚ that is‚ formalin and benzaldehyde are aldehyde-containing compounds while acetone is a ketone. On the other hand‚ effect of acid concentration

The endeavor involved looking into the way their bonding influences how they react. It also considers the simple physical properties of these compounds including their reaction with other compounds‚ chemical structures and formulas. The paper also looked to

Esmeralda Curiel Organic Chemistry November 11‚ 2014 Experiment 62 – The Aldehyde Enigma INTRODUCTION In the Cannizaro reaction an aldehyde is simultaneously reduced into its primary alcohol form and also oxidized into it ’s carboxylic acid form. The purpose of this experiment is to isolate‚ purify and identify compounds 1 and 2 which contain 4-chlorobenzaldehyde‚ methanol‚ and aqueous potassium hydroxide. Compounds 1 and 2 are purified by crystallization. . The purified product will be characterized
Premium Alcohol Functional group Chemistry
Aldehyde and Ketone 1. ALDEHYDE Definition: An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a formyl group. This functional group‚ with the structure R-CHO‚ consists of a carbonyl center (a carbon double bonded to oxygen) bonded to hydrogen and an R group‚ which is any generic alkyl or side chain. The group without R is called the aldehyde group or formyl group. Aldehydes differ from ketones in that the carbonyl is placed at the end of a carbon skeleton rather than between two carbon atoms
