You have an unknown piece of matter in front of you that you believe to be a piece of bark from a tree. First, how would you det
ermine if the matter was organic or not? Second, what are two kinds of tests you could perform to indicate the material is plant matter rather than an animal?
<em>TO Determine whether Organic or not Just take some crystals on the end of a spatula and then introduce it in a flame, if it is melts or burns without white vapors then it is an inorganic compound and if you see white vapors or smoky vapors, it is organic. This is a very basic test which is used for this purpose.</em>
