How to write Experiment to test Functional groups

When organic compound is given as a sample to test the functional group present in it, the experiment can be written in following way in answer sheet or notebook.

Some of the important functional groups in organic chemistry are alcohol (-OH) group, aldehyde (-CHO) group, ketone (-CO-)group, carboxylic acid (-COOH) group, alkene (-C=C-) group, and alkyne group.

प्रयोग संख्या – 01

Object :- Identify the functional group present in the given organic compound.

Materials required :-Test tube, spirit lamp, test tube holder , reagents etc.

Observation table :-

S.No.ExperimentObservation Conclusion
1Organic compound + Baeyer’s reagent (1% KMnO4)No change in colourorganic compound is not unsaturated
2Organic compound  + tollen reagent + Heatsilver mirror-CHO group present

Chemical reactions involved :-

R-CHO +  Ag2O  →  RCOOH  +     2Ag ↓
