Identification of unknown


Unknown #1: Preliminary Identification (20 Points) You have been given an unknown compound. In the first part of this lab, you will examine the physical properties, solubility, and elemental analysis of the unknown. Fill out the information below as bet as possible. A successful determination of the functional group in your unknown compound is dependent upon the following examinations. You will be graded on how accurate and diligent you perform. At the final step you must predict two potential function group that your compound might contain AND explain your reason for choosing that function group. DO NOT SEPARATE/TEAR THE PAGES OF THE UNKNOWN EXAMINATION! Unknown 1: Final Examination (20 points) In the second part of the unknown lab you will first isolate which functional group (of the two you predicted) is present. You will then prepare 2 derivatives of your unknown in an attempt to identify the actual unknown compound. Fill out the information below as best as possible. You will be graded on how accurate your answers are for your unknown. At the final step you must identify your unknown compound. DO NOT SEPARATE THE PAGES FOR THE UNKNOWN EXAMINATIONS!
