2 This question is about the three isomeric carbonyl compounds shown in the table. pentanal pentan-2-one pentan-3-one (a) (i) Each of these compounds was subjected to three chemical tests. Complete the table below to show the observation for each test. If appropriate, write no change. (5) Observations pentanal pentan-2-one pentan-3-one Test 2,4-dinitro- phenylhydrazine Tollens reagent Iodoform test *P48386A0516* Turn over<br />
 (ii) Name the reagents that are required for the iodoform test, and describe the procedure for carrying out this test. (3)(b) On the structures in the table below, circle the proton environments in each molecule that would produce a peak in its nmr spectrum, indicating clearly if any of these environments are identical. Hence give the number of different proton environments in each molecule. (3) Structure Number of different proton environments (Total for Question 2 = 11 marks) *P48386A0616*<br />
