In this video, we look at how to identify aldehydes and ketones using the chemical 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP). First we look at how this chemical can be used to show the presence of an aldehyde or ketone. We then explore how to use 2,4-DNP to identify which specific aldehyde or ketone is present.
