water is:
(1) Sometimes positive and sometimes
negative
(2) Negative
(3) Neutral

particles when FeCl
3
 is added to excess of hot
water is:
(1) Sometimes positive and sometimes
negative
(2) Negative
(3) Neutral

(2) Amine
(3) Ether
(4) Halogens
Answer (1)
Sol. 2,4 DNP test is used to identify 
O
– C – group. It
gives addition reaction with carbonyl
compounds. So, it can be used to identify
aldehyde in the given option. It gives yellow/
orange PPt with carbonyl containing
compounds.
6. Seliwanoff test and Xanthoproteic test are
used for the identification of _______and _____
respectively.
(1) Ketoses, aldoses (2) Proteins, ketoses
(3) Ketoses, proteins (4) Aldoses, ketoses
Answer (3)
Sol. Seliwanoff test is used to distinguish ketoses
from aldoses. On treatment with a concentrated
acid, ketones are dehydrated more rapidly to
give furfural derivative and on condensation
with resorcinol give cherry red complex.
Positive Seliwanoff’s test – Ketoses present
Positive Xanthoproteic test – Presence of
aromatic amino acid
The Xanthoproteic reaction is a method that
can be used to detect presence of protein
soluble in a solution, using concentrated nitric
acid.
