Organic Compounds are classified according to different functional groups. Each functional group has specific properties therefore all the members of that homologous family are similar in terms of chemical properties. We know specific chemical tests for each of the functional groups to identify them.
The analysis is based on various question papers on organic chemistry at different boards like CBSE, ISC, and other state boards. In this analysis, we found a number of questions based on the chemical tests. For the simplification of the topic, we are listing some chemical tests according to the functional group. Some organic compounds are also listed with specific chemical tests.
Students can write the answer to various questions with the help of the following list in a more simple manner.
Question Type
How do differentiate the following organic compounds with the help of a chemical test?
Tips to write answer
Questions must be answered with care on the following points.
- Give proper details of the reagent used
- Write the proper observation like color change, ppt formed with color, the color of gas evolved, any specific smell, etc.
- Write at least one positive test for each compound that is negative for another compound.
- If one reagent gives different observations with both compounds then one test is sufficient.
