One is a physical test and the other is a chemical test!
If they ask for the physical one => Use the 'boiling point' method!
If a chemical test is being asked, then mention one of the two tests I've provided!

Bromothymol Blue:

Acid (Yellow) , Neutral (Dark green) , Alkaline (Blue)

Are we even supposed to know about this indicator?? It's the first time i am hearing it...Is it in the syllabus?
Thanks :)

And one more thing Nibz, isn't adding a carboxylic acid a test for ethanol?
You get a pleasant smelling substance which is an ester.. :)

It is one possible test, but a lit splint which burns is also one..

It's not recommended in the chemistry syllabus , only Methyl orange and Phenophthanil which is used in Titration :)


Also Universal Indicator and Litmus paper but don't use those in Titration

Aoa. Can anyone help me with oxidising agents and reducing agents? I don't understand it.... :(
Please list the names...

An oxidising agent (also oxidant, oxidizer or oxidiser) is a substance that oxidizes (removes electrons from) another reactant in a redoxchemical reaction. The oxidising agent is reduced by taking electrons onto itself and the reactant is oxidised by having its electrons taken away.

A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is the element or compound in a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction that donates an electron to another species; however, since the reducer loses an electron we say it is "oxidized". This means that there must be an "oxidizer"; because if any chemical is an electron donor (reducer), another must be an electron recipient (oxidizer). Thus reducers are "oxidized" by oxidizers and oxidizers are "reduced" by reducers; reducers are by themselves reduced (have more electrons) and oxidizers are by themselves oxidized (have fewer electrons).

P.S. I do not own anything.

Redox reactions, or oxidation-reduction reactions, have a number of similarities to acid-base reactions. Fundamentally, redox reactions are a family of reactions that are concerned with the transfer of electrons between species. Like acid-base reactions, redox reactions are a matched set -- you don't have an oxidation reaction without a reduction reaction happening at the same time. Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons, while reduction refers to the gain of electrons. Each reaction by itself is called a "half-reaction", simply because we need two (2) half-reactions to form a whole reaction.

Thanks, you've been a great help! :)
