Based on the results of the solubility tests, the compound can be grouped in VI, which is insoluble in water, 10% NaOH and 10% HCl but soluble in concentrated H2SO4. If the compound is water-insoluble but soluble in concentrated H2SO4, it is most probably an alcohol, aldehyde, anhydride, ester, ether, ketone, or an unsaturated hydrocarbon The functional group/class is identified to be Methyl Ketone, base on the results of the chemical tests on Table 2.
