AIM:
Qualitative analysis for the identification of the functional group in the
organic sample.
SAMPLE:
Acetic Acid (CH3COOH)
(A)
PRELIMINARY TEST:
Color – Colorless
|
||
Physical
State – Liquid
|
||
Odor
– Pungent
|
||
Ignition Test –
|
||
Experiment
|
Observation
|
Inference
|
A clean glass rod is taken and dipped in the
given sample. The glass rod is then held at the mouth of the Bunsen flame.
|
No sooty flame is obtained.
|
The sample is aliphatic in nature.
|
(B) CONFIRMATORY TEST FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE
CARBOXYLIC FUNCTIONAL GROUP.
TEST NO. 1
|
||
LITMUS TEST
|
||
Experiment
|
Observation
|
Inference
|
A drop/paste of the
sample is taken on moist litmus paper (blue or red).
|
Blue litmus turns red.
|
Sample is acidic in nature.
|
TEST NO. 2
|
||
Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) or Sodium
Bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
|
||
Experiment
|
Observation
|
Inference
|
A pinch of sodium carbonate/bicarbonate is added to a small
amount of the sample taken in the test tube.
|
Brisk effervescence is evolved.
|
CO2 gas is evolved or liberated. Therefore, carboxylic group in the sample is confirmed.
|
TEST NO. 3
|
||
Esterification
|
||
Experiment
|
Observation
|
Inference
|
To 0.5mg/0.5ml of the sample taken in a clean test tube, equal amount of ethyl alcohol is added
followed by 1-2 drops of conc. H2SO4
acid. The test tube is then heated in a water bath for at least few minutes (at
the least 5 minutes). The contents of the test tube are then poured into a
beaker containing water, and the smell is noted.
|
Pleasant or fruity or sweet smell is evolved.
|
Presence of carboxylic group in
the sample Is confirmed.
|
REPORT: Given sample contains aliphatic carboxylic
acid functional group.
