If a positive test is not immediately observed, the set should be allowed to stand for 1-2 minutes. A positive result means the appearance of a green color.
b) The functional groups that can be distinguished by the test are alcohols and aldehydes.
Aldehydes give a positive test to chromic acid but ketones do not.
Primary and secondary alcohols give a positive test to chromic acid but tertiary alcohols do not.
c) Chromic Acid Test involves Cr in the +6 oxidation state. A positive test implies the reduction of orange Cr^6+ to green chromium Cr^3+.
d) The compounds were not shown but this image attached from lumen learning summarizes the reaction mechanism of chromic acid test.
