What test could you perform to distinguish between the compounds using physical properties with H2O and H2O2? Explain in one sentence
1 answer
You could perform a solubility test by adding the compounds to water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) separately - the compound that dissolves in H2O but not in H2O2 is likely to be a non-polar substance, while the one that dissolves in H2O2 but not in H2O is likely to be a polar substance.
