About this document

Flammability and Solubility Tests in Lab by Sandra Macatangay is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This experiment explores the properties that distinguish organic from inorganic compounds through a series of tests. Organic compounds tend to char or burn completely, dissolve in organic solvents but not water, and have low melting points. Inorganic compounds are usually ionic salts that are water soluble and have high melting points. Through tests of flammability, charring, solubility, and electrical conductivity, compounds can be identified as organic or inorganic based on these distinguishing properties
