Simple tests for organic substances

Solubility in water can give us the first clues as to identity. A water-soluble organic compound will either be ionic (e.g. an acid salt like sodium ethanoate) or polar.

The following links show some common chemical tests:

Alcohols

Alkenes and unsaturation

Carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones)

Carboxylic acid group

Halogenoalkanes
