What are isomers which are mirror images of each other called?
Enantiomers
1 of 6
How can Enantiomers be distinguished?
Different effects on plane-polarised light, and said to be optically active.
2 of 6
What is a racemic mixture?
A solution in which both enantiomers of a compound are present in equal amounts.
3 of 6
Explain the effects of Brady's Reagent
Aldehydes and Keytones both react to form yellow/orange crystalline solids called 2,4 DNP derivatives. Condensation reaction
4 of 6
Explain Fehling's solution
If an aldehyde is warmed with Fehlings solution it forms a red/brown precipitate, it has no reaction with keytones.
5 of 6
Explain Tollens' reagent
When warmed with an aldehyde a silver metal is formed which coats the test tube as a "silver mirror" but no reaction with a keytone.
