Solubility Tests
|
Is your unknown compound soluble in water? |
|
|
For the solubility tests use 4 drops of liquid unknown or 5 mg of solid unknown and dissolve in 10 drops (0.5 mL) of water. (Use 10 drops of different solvent for the other solubility tests.) |
|
Note: Carboxylic acids with 6 carbons or more may not be soluble in water at room temperature. This functional group can be tested by warming the solution and testing its acidity. |
