Question 2 [4 marks]
(a) Identification of Organic substance C-13
Exp Experiment Observation
No.
i) 2ml of C-13 was taken in a test tube. To this, Yellow crystals of iodoform are 𝟏
a few crystals of iodine followed by a few formed which have characteristic 𝟐

and cool.
ii) 1ml of C-13 was taken in a test tube and 1ml A ruby red colouration is 𝟏
of freshly prepared sodium nitroprusside produced. Red colour fades to 𝟐
solution was added; followed by 4-5 drops of yellow.

Deduction- From the given above experiments and observations of unknown organic substance C-13, it is identified
𝟏
as Acetone (CH3COCH3). [ ]

No.
i) To 1ml of C-14 solution in a clean test tube, 4- A red colour is produced. 𝟏
5 drops of phenol was added followed by 2-3 𝟐
drops of concentrated sulphuric acid. Heated
the mixture. Cooled and dilute with water
and added aqueous ammonium hydroxide.
ii) To 1ml of C-14 solution 1 ml of copper A blue colouration is produced. 𝟏

Question 3 [4 marks]
Qualitative analysis of C-15:
Test for anion:
The substance C-15 is dissolved in distilled water and sample solution is prepared.
Experiment Observation Inference

Confirmatory test: To the sample A brown ring is formed at the Nitrate ion (NO3-) is 𝟏
solution freshly prepared ferrous junction of two layers confirmed.
[1 ]
𝟐
sulphate solution was added and then
concentrated sulphuric acid was added
dropwise by the wall if the test tube.
Test for cation:
Experiment Observation Inference
(i) Small amount of the C-15 No characteristic smell Group 0 absent.
is treated with caustic soda
(NaOH) solution and
heated.
(ii) To the sample solution dil. White ppt. is formed Group I is present 𝟏
HCl is added

𝟐

(iii) Confirmatory test: The Yellow ppt. was formed Lead (II) ion (Pb2+) is 1
content was filtered and confirmed
the residue is dissolved in
hot water. To it few drops
of potassium iodide (KI)
solution was added.
according to question one cation is already confirmed, hence further analysis is not done.
Conclusion: Systematic analysis of the unknown substance C-15 shows that C-15 contains
Cation: Lead (II) ion (Pb2+)
Anion: Nitrate ion (NO3-)
