B)A compound gives no reaction on the silver nitrate test, a negative on the 2,4-DNP test, a gray ppt on the Tollens test, and a negative on the bromination
test. What is wrong with these results, and what would
you do to figure out the compound type?
c) What would be the expected results of each test (+ or -) for these compounds?

d) Ketosis is a condition in the body that occurs when large amounts of fat break down in the body and
ketones form. Some of these ketones are excreted in the urine. Which chemical test can be used to detect
ketones in the urine? (Your answer should be in this format: Add If forms, that is a
positive test for ketones.)
e) Why shouldn't we throw the waste down the sink during this week's experiment?
