test for SO4^2-
IS H+/Ba^2+
BaSO4 (s) present
OH test
AgNO3 = brown ppt
test for NH4+
warm with NaOH
NH3 released
turns damp red litmus paper blue
CO3^2- test
add dilute acid
see effervescence
= test in co2
alcohol test
Na2CO3 - no fizz
then oxidise K2Cr2O7/H+
carboxylic acid test
add Na2CO3 = fizz
alkenes test
add Br2(aq) = orange turns colourless
halogenoalkane test
heat NaOH(aq)
xs HNO3
AgNO3 (aq)
= ppt forms
aldehyde test
tollens = red
silver mirror = formed
carbonyl test
2,4-DNPH = yellow ppt
COCH3 test
iodoform (iodine and sodium hydroxide)
= yellow ppt
