    Qualitative Analysis For Organic Compounds

    This document provides instructions for three qualitative analysis tests to identify organic functional groups: 1) The unsaturation test uses aqueous bromine to detect alkene functional groups based on decolorization. 2) The oxidation test uses acidified potassium dichromate under heat to detect alcohol groups based on a color change from orange to green. 3) The acidity test uses a pH meter or indicator to detect acid groups based on a reading below pH 7 or the presence of effervescence in a carbonate test.

    Qualitative Analysis

    For Organic Substances


    Test for alkene functional group
    (Unsaturation Test)

    Bubble/Shake the sample with aqueous


    bromine. If the C=C functional group is
    present, the brown aqueous bromine will
    decolourise
    Test for alcohol function group
    (Oxidation Test)

    Heat the sample under reflux with acidified


    potassium dichromate (VI). If the –OH
    functional group is present, the orange
    potassium dichromate (VI) will turn green
    Test for acid functional group
    (Acidity Test)

    Test with a pH meter OR test with universal


    indicator and compare against colour chart. If the
    substance is acidic, it will read a pH value of less
    than 7.0 (Alternatively, test with a carbonate and
    look for effervescence)
