Description
Functional group plays a vital role in determining the nature of the organic compounds and
their properties. Identification of functional groups is a very important part of qualitative
analysis. Tests for unsaturation can be used to identify the double and triple bonds present
in the organic compound.
Instructions: Provide some other test (one) for unsaturation aside from Bromine and Baeyer’s
tests that could distinguish alkane, alkene, alkyne and aromatic hydrocarbons. Provide a
brief background of the test and present positive results for the each hydrocarbon for the
selected test for unsaturation.
Alkanes and alkenes are abundant in nature. Alkynes are less common in nature than
alkenes, although more than 1000 different alkynes have been isolated from natural sources.
Instructions:
Explore sources (one for each) of alkane, alkene, and alkyne in nature and in
industry. Give the specific name of the compound and its use or function.
Watch the video presentations for Baeyer’s test and Bromine test. Record the chemical
reagents used and the positive result for each test based on the video presentations.
Instructions:
1. List the chemical reagents used, including their concentrations and indicate the positive result for Baeyer’s test?
2. List the chemical reagents used, including their concentrations and indicate the
positive result for Bromine test?
