Experiment No. 6

The document describes Experiment 6 which was conducted to identify the functional group in a given organic compound. Through a series of tests, it was determined that the solid pink compound was soluble in water and contained a phenolic group. The compound showed no signs of unsaturation or a carboxylic acid group. It did produce a violet coloration when reacted with neutral ferric chloride, indicating the presence of a phenolic functional group.
