A flow chart was designed as a prelab assessment. The flow chart was then used in the lab assessment to determine an unknown organic compound. The results were then written up with explanations in a lab report.
Very useful.

Add 10 drops of 1M H2SO4 and 2 drops of 0.1M K2Cr2O7 (potassium dichromate–orange)
No change Turns Green (oxidized) Carboxylic Acid
Check by adding 10 Silver Mirror Test Add 5 mL of 0.1M drops of X to 10 AgNO3 (Silver Nitrate) to test tube. drops of saturated Add 2M NH3 (Ammonia) until initial = NaHCO3 (sodium cloudy precipitate of Ag2O just bicarbonate) dissolves. Add 1-2 drops of X into There should be mixture & place in water bath. fizzing as CO2 gas is No change Grey silver precipitate released
Place 15 drops of X into a test
tube & 15 drops of 2-butanol into Aldehyde a separate test tube. Add a small piece of sodium metal to each Methanal test tube & compare the reactions Checked with the Same Different Silver Mirror Test
Set up apparatus &
test the boiling point Below 107°C Above 107°C Secondary Alcohol 2-butanol Already checked by comparing sodium Primary Alcohol Primary Alcohol Set up apparatus & test to a known 1-propanol BP 97.4°C 1-butanol BP 118°C test the boiling point sample of 2-butanol in previous step.

sodium metal Carboxylic Acid Carboxylic Acid Reaction No reaction Propanoic Acid BP 141°C ethanoic acid BP 118°C
Alkyl Halide Test
A)Warm a mixture of 2 drops X & 5 drops Tertiary Alcohol Alternatively use ethanol with a little solid KOH (potassium 2-methyl-2-propanol expected density hydroxide) B)cool mixture & add 2M HNO3 Check by comparing (nitric acid) until blue litmus paper turns red sodium test to a indicating solution is acidic. Add 3 drops of known sample of 26.23g/25mL 24.83g/25mL AgNO3 (silver nitrate) solution. 2-methyl-2-propanol No precipitate Precipitate
