Question

What should you see when the following compounds are mixed together with the given test solution? CH3CH2CH2-C-CH3 with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with Kl-I2 reagent with Tollens' reagent with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with chromic acid with Tollens' reagent 2-Pentanone and valeraldehyde (see Table 4) have close boiling points, 102 and 103degree respector Suggest a way that these two compounds could be distinguished and identified. difference of 1degree C is too close to measure experimentally.)

Explanation / Answer

a) with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine gives orange red ppt

     with KI-I2 reagent and Tollen's reagent no reaction

b) with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine gives orange red dye

with chromic acid gives benzoic acid with good smell

with Tollen's reagent gives silvery mirror on walls of the test tube.
