Practical considerations for test up tube reactions
Use hot water Bath - dealing with flammable substances
fume cupboard - produce toxic fumes
anti-bumping granules - for test for aldehydes as we boil the mixture
dilute solutions - diluting ethanoic acid makes it less flammable
conditions need to be acidic (halogenoalknes) - neutralise OH- ions Ag+ + OH- —> AgOH(s)
Alkaline conditions (fehlings solution) - allow ethanal to reduce Cu2+ to Cu1+
