What is the test for carboxylic acids?
Blue litmus paper turns red. Adding NaHCO3 will produce effervescence and bubbles of CO2.
What is the test for amines?
Red litmus paper turns blue.
What is the test for amides?
Alkaline hydrolysis, OH-/H2O produces NH3 gas.
What is a further test for identifying the halogens?
Add NH3 to precipitates after the AgNO3 test.
Cl- - dissolves in dilute NH3
Br- - dissolves in concentrated NH3
I- - does not dissolve in NH3
