Question
A sample was observed to have the following responses to qualitative analysis.
Insoluble in water
-
Insoluble in 5% NaOH
-
Insoluble in 5% HC1
Chromic acid test showed no noticeable change in color of solution.
-
Lucas test showed a two-layered (two-phase) solution almost immediately after addition
of the Lucas reagent
What is the most likely identity of this unknown?
A. Pentanol
B. All of the above
C. 2-pentanol
D.
2-methyl-2-butanol
A student performed the ninhydrin test then immediately did Tollens' test using the same
dropper. When drawing out Tollens' B (a colorless solution) using his dropper, he noticed that
the liquid in his dropper turned into a different color. What could have caused this?
