Question 1

Question
How do you identify a carbonyl compound?
Answer
  • Add Tollens' reagent
  • Add Biuret reagent
  • Add 2,4-DNPH
  • Add carboxylic acid

Question 2

Question
What is Brady's reagent?
Answer
  • A mixture of H2SO4 and benzene + 2,4-DNPH
  • A mixture of HCl and ethanol + 2,4-DNPH
  • A mixture of NaOH and methanol + 2,4-DNPH
  • A mixture of H2SO4 and methanol + 2,4-DNPH

Question 3

Question
What's formed when 2,4-DNPH is added to an aldehyde/ketone?
Answer
  • A blue solid
  • An orange/yellow precipiate
  • An orange/yellow solution
  • A green precipitate

Question 4

Question
What does the 2,4-DNPH derivative confirm?
Answer
  • The presence of C=O
  • The presence of COOH
  • The presence of OH
  • The presence of COO

Question 5

Question
What happens when 2,4-DNPH added to carboxylic acid/ester?
Answer
  • An orange/yellow precipitate formed
  • An orange to green colour change
  • A solid disappears
  • No precipitate formed

Question 6

Question
What is Tollen's reagent?
Answer
  • A weak oxidising agent
  • A weak reducing agent
  • A strong oxidising agent
  • A strong reducing agent

Question 7

Question
What happens to aldehydes when Tollens' reagent is added to it?
Answer
  • Oxidised to ketones
  • Reduced to carboxylic acids
  • Oxidised to carboxylic acids
  • Reduced to alcohols

Question 8

Question
What observation do you see when Tollen's reagent is added to an aldehyde?
Answer
  • Brown precipitate
  • Silver mirror
  • No observation
  • Brick red precipitate

Question 9

Question
Why is a silver mirror formed?
Answer
  • Al ions oxidised to Al metal
  • Silver ions reduced to silver metal
  • Silver ions oxidised to silver metal
  • Al ions reduced to Al metal

Question 10

Question
What is the equation for the silver mirror being formed?
Answer
  • Ag-(aq) + e+ ---> Ag(s)
  • Ag+(aq) ---> Ag(s) + e-
  • Ag+(s) + e- ---> Ag(aq)
  • Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s)

Question 11

Question
What observation do you see when Tollen's added to ketone?
Answer
  • No observation
  • Silver mirror
  • Deep blue solution
  • Orange to green colour change

Question 12

Question
What's the reason for no observation?
Answer
  • The reaction is too slow
  • Ketones are not reduced by Tollens' reagent
  • Ketones are not oxidised by Tollens' reagent
  • Ketones are just dead

Question 13

Question
What's the oxidising species in Tollens' reagent?
Answer
  • Ag(aq)
  • Br+(aq)
  • Ag(s)
  • Ag+(aq)

Question 14

Question
What conditions are required for these reactions?
Answer
  • Warm
  • Reflux
  • conc H2SO4
  • Alkaline

Question 15

Question
Filter and [blank_start]recrystallise[blank_end] product. Measure [blank_start]melting point[blank_end] of purified product which is very [blank_start]high[blank_end]. Compare the melting point to a [blank_start]database[blank_end] or [blank_start]data table[blank_end] to identify the unknown product and therefore the [blank_start]original[blank_end] carbonyl compound.
Answer
  • recrystallise
  • melting point
  • high
  • database
  • data table
  • original

Question 16

Question
Why does the yellow/orange solid have to be recrystallised?
Answer
  • Because it needs to be crystallised again
  • Because its slightly impure
  • Because it's fun
  • Because it needs to be more solid

Question 17

Question
Why can't boiling points be used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones?
Answer
  • It's not possible to know all of the boiling points for every single one
  • It will all boil away
  • Some are very close together/similar
  • It's not accurate enough
