Functional Groups - Organizing Your Attack
It would be very time consuming to perform all of the chemical tests on each of the unknowns you have been assigned. Fortunately, a flow chart can be devised to help simplify the process. Following the flow chart will help you identify which class of compound your unknown belongs to. If there is more than one possibility among the unknowns, you will have to use solubility and boiling point data as well.
