Conclusion: On the basis of the tests performed above and with reference handbook the given
organic drug/compound is 1)Aliphatic 2) Unsaturated 3) Neutral
Determination of Element :
a Test for Nitrogen: 3-4 ml filtrate+ No blue ppt or green Nitrogen absent
solid FeSO4, till saturation, heat to ppt
boil for few minutes, then acidify
with con. H₂SO4
I Acidity 5 ml the filtrate with dilute No heavy white curdy Halogen absent.
H₂SO, boil well to reduce the volume ppt.
to one third to expel H₂S if S and /or
HCN if N, already found to be
present. Then add few drops of
dilute HNO3, (to acidify) and AgNo3
solution.
Conclusion: The given organic drug/compound was found to contain ketone ( RCOR'*) functional
group/groups.
Result : The given organic drug/compound was having 50°C boiling point. C, H, O elements and Ketone
(RCOR') group/groups, therefore with reference to literature, the organic drug/ compound may be
Acetone .
