Identification of an unknown compound Plan An unknown organic compound has been supplied. The organic compound contains one of the following functional groups: - Alcohol - Aldehyde - Carboxylic acid - Ester - Ketone - Phenol In this investigation, the problem that I will attempt to solve is the identity of the unknown compound. This will be achieved by using various spectroscopic techniques (n.m.r, mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy) and a series of experiments. A flow chart has been constructed to identify the unknown compound. A table of results has also been drawn which shows the outcomes of each experiment. The following equipment will be needed for the experiments: - Test tubes - Test tube rack - 10 ml glass pipettes with pipette fillers - 10 ml measuring cylinder - 250 ml glass beaker - Matches - Splint Chemicals As well as the unknown compound the following reagents are required: - Bromine water - 2,4-dinitrophenylhdrazine - Tollens Reagent (0.1moldm-3 silver ions, sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia) - Solid metallic sodium - Blue litmus...
