  3. Ferric chloride test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferric_chloride_test

    The ferric chloride test is used to determine the presence of phenols in a given sample or compound (for instance natural phenols in a plant extract). Enols, hydroxamic acids, oximes, and sulfinic acids give positive results as well. [1]

    Several of his academic papers were retracted due to concerns about manipulated or fabricated data. In 2022, the Chemistry group at Hokkaido University, where Sawamura is affiliated, retracted multiple papers, including one published in the journal Science in 2020. The retraction was attributed to the non-reproducibility of reported results and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon's_reagent

    Simon's reagent is used as a simple spot-test to presumptively identify alkaloids as well as other compounds. It reacts with secondary amines like MDMA and methamphetamine to give a blue solution. Uses

  6. Nitrate test - Wikipedia

    Devarda's alloy (Copper/Aluminium/Zinc) is a reducing agent.When reacted with nitrate in sodium hydroxide solution, ammonia is liberated. The ammonia formed may be detected by its characteristic odor, and by damp red litmus paper's turning blue, signalling that it is an alkali — very few gases other than ammonia evolved from wet chemistry are alkaline.

    Whereas in the CHA model, those orbitals have no greater intrinsic freedom and therefore the correction treats all fragments equally. [10] The errors inherent in either BSSE correction disappear more rapidly than the total value of BSSE in larger basis sets.

  8. Spot analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_analysis

    Spot analysis, spot test analysis, or spot test is a chemical test, a simple and efficient technique where analytic assays are executed in only one, or a few drops, of a chemical solution, preferably in a great piece of filter paper, without using any sophisticated instrumentation.

  9. Observational error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_error

    Random errors are errors in measurement that lead to measurable values being inconsistent when repeated measurements of a constant attribute or quantity are taken. Random errors create measurement uncertainty. Systematic errors are errors that are not determined by chance but are introduced by repeatable processes inherent to the system. [3]
