| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thin Layer Chromatography | Stationary phase - adsorbent surface (e.g silica) Mobile phase - Solvent Solute spotted with capillary tube, solvent rises up TLC plate, solute adsorbs at different distances, spots often visualised with UV, Rf calculated (solute/solvent) |
| Gas Chromatography | Stationary phase - High boiling liquid adsorbed to inert solid Mobile phase - Inert gas carrier Components carried in gas, more soluble in liquid = longer the time to reach detector, Rt recorded, conc found by comparing area with calibration curve |
| Test for alkenes | Add bromine water Decolourises - Orange to colourless |
| Test for haloalkanes | Add silver nitrate and ethanol in a 50C water bath Chloroalkane = white precipitate Bromoalkane = cream precipitate Iodoalkane = yellow precipitate |
| Test for phenols | Ph indicates an acid but no reactivity with carbonates |
| Test for carbonyls | Add 2,4 - DNP Orange precipitate |
| Test for aldehydes | Add Tollen's reagent and warm Silver mirror |
| Test for primary and secondary alcohols and aldehydes | Add acidified Potassium dichromate in a warm water bath Colour change from orange to green as it is oxidised |
| Test for carboxylic acids | Add an aqueous carbonate (e.g sodium carbonate) Effervesence |
