Question 2 [4 marks]
(a) Identification of Organic substance C-13
Exp Experiment Observation
No.
i) 2ml of C-13 was taken in a test tube and 1ml A white ppt is formed which readily turns 𝟏
of freshly prepared pyrogallol solution was deep red. 𝟐
added. Shaken the contents. 2ml of
concentrated hydrochloric acid was added
and warm the contents in a water bath.
ii) Shining silver mirror is formed on wall of 𝟏
2ml of C-13 was taken in a test tube and
the test tube on standing. 𝟐
2ml of Tollen’s reagent was added and
warm the contents in a water bath.
iii) Red precipitate of Cu2O is formed. 𝟏
2ml of C-13 was taken in a test tube and
𝟐
2ml of Fehling’s solution was added and
warm the contents in a water bath.

Deduction- From the given above experiments and observations of unknown organic substance C-13, it is identified
𝟏
as Formaldehyde(HCHO). [ ]
𝟐

(b) Identification of Organic substance C-14

Exp Experiment Observation
No.
i) 2ml of C-14 was taken in a test tube and a Effervescence of CO2 gas is observed. 𝟏
few drops of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) 𝟐
solution was added.
ii) 2ml of C-14 was taken in a test tube and Buff coloured precipitate is formed. 𝟏
neutral ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution was 𝟐

added.
iii) A pleasant fruity smell of ester is 𝟏
2ml of C-14 was taken in a test tube and
observed. 𝟐
a few drops of concentrated sulphuric
acid (H2SO4) was added, followed by 5ml
of ethanol and heated the contents in
water bath.

Deduction- From the given above experiments and observations of unknown organic substance C-14, it is identified
𝟏
as Benzoic acid (C6H5COOH). [ ]

Question 3 [4 marks]
Qualitative analysis of C-15:
Test for anion:
The substance C-15 is dissolved in distilled water and sample solution is prepared.
Experiment Observation Inference

Confirmatory test: To be above Wine red colouration is produced. Acetate ion (CH3COO-) 𝟏
solution dilute HCl is added followed is confirmed.
[1 ]
𝟐
by neutral ferric chloride solution is
added.
Test for cation:
Experiment Observation Inference
(i) Small amount of the C-15 No characteristic smell Group 0 absent.
is treated with caustic soda
(NaOH) solution and
heated.
(ii) To the sample solution dil. White ppt. is formed Group I is present 𝟏
HCl is added
[1 ]
𝟐

(iii) Confirmatory test: The Yellow ppt. was formed Lead (II) ion (Pb2+) is 1
content was filtered and confirmed
the residue is dissolved in
hot water. To it few drops
of potassium iodide (KI)
solution was added.
according to question one cation is already confirmed, hence further analysis is not done.
Conclusion: Systematic analysis of the unknown substance C-15 shows that C-15 contains
Cation: Lead (II) ion (Pb2+)
Anion: Acetate ion (CH3COO-)
