Organic Chemistry Laboratory

• Flammability Test is used to determine combustibility of a compound
• Ethanol is the organic compound used in flammabiity test
• NaCI is the inorganic compound in the flammability test
• Based on the flammability test, the flammable compound is organic compound
• This heat from Ethanol results from the formation of the bonds in Co2 and H2O,
• The chemical reaction for flammability test is combustion or burning\
• Chemical Equation: Ethyl Alcohol + Oxygen = Combustion
• Charring Test is used to determine a compound's melting point.
• The reagents used for charring test is sucrose and sodium chloride (NaCl)
• The reagents used for flammability test is Ethanol and NaCl
• The chemical reaction in charring test is thermal decompostion
• The residue left in the charring test is primarily composed of carbon.
• It is proven in the charring test that organic compounds can easily burn and have low boiling and melting point
• • Sucrose formed carbon and water when heated in the charring test
