RESULT RESULT
Acidity and Red of Blue Blue litmus The vapors of the acidic
alkalinity litmus paper paper to red sample turned the blue
to red litmus paper litmus paper to red

Hydrogen and Presence of Presence of The evolution of

Oxygen moisture on moisture on moisture on the sides of
the sides of the sides of test tube proves that
the test tube the test hydrogen and oxygen is
tube present in the sample
as water

Carbon Black Black Presence of black

residue/ residue/ residue or charring of
Charring of Charring of the sample indicates
the burnt the burnt incomplete combustion
sample sample of the sample

Nitrogen Red/Blue to Blue litmus Soda lime reacting with

red Litmus paper to red the sample produces
paper and colored ammonia if nitrogen is
burnt sugar litmus paper present hence the odor
odor with
ammoniacal
odor

Halogen A green flash No green formation of soot

(beilsten test) is indicative flash of during the combustion
of Chlorine, flame was indicates aromatic
bromine and seen compounds. Organic
iodine, but Chlorides-deep green
not fluorine Bromides- bluish green
at edge.
Phosphorous No No Solutions containing
precipitate is precipitate phosphates yield a
formed is formed yellow precipitate that
is soluble in ammonium
hydroxide
Sulfur White White S+ HNO3 -> H2SO4 +
precipitate precipitate BaCl2 -> BaSO4 (white
will form forms precipitate)

Phenyl or Pink or red Pinkish to The mercuric nitrate

Benzne compound redish reacts with the
(Millon’s test) forms compound hydroxybenzene
forms radicals forming a red
complex

Phenyl or Red or pink Red-orange Phenols form a violet
