Answer:
An unknown compound's 2,4-DNP product melting range is between 144-146'C. It does not give a silver mirror on the Tollens test and is slow to react to the chromic acid test. What would this compound be
Explanation:
From the given data it is clear that the unknown compound gives positive test with 2,4-DNP reagent.
That means it has a carbonyl group.Either aldehyde or ketone.
It does not give a silver mirror on the Tollens test and is slow to react to the chromic acid test.
That means aldehyde is absent.
So, the other carbonyl group that is ketone is present in the given unknown compound.
