Organic Analysis | A‑Level Chemistry Exam Question Walkthrough

This video is a full A‑Level Chemistry exam‑question walkthrough on Organic Analysis, taking you through the classic test‑tube reactions used to distinguish between key organic functional groups — exactly the kind of reasoning and practical chemistry examiners expect. You can download the full exam question using the link below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13lMlWXJtzIZI0xtTYYnVQl6ppPVS15bA/view?usp=drive_link Links directory for all YouTube videos: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s3I5prjbJRR1U1lcKpXO9TQpQMaVoP66/view?usp=drive_link The walkthrough shows the exam‑marking points in purple, and the thinking‑out‑loud development and annotations in red/blue, so you can clearly see what earns marks and what helps you understand the chemistry. This topic is relevant to all exam boards. For AQA, it links directly to the Required Practical on organic tests. For OCR, it aligns with PAG 7: Qualitative Analysis. ⭐ What this walkthrough covers Distinguishing between acyl chlorides and alcohols Key observations and equations for nucleophilic acyl substitution Distinguishing between alcohols, aldehydes and ketones Using Tollens’, Fehling’s/Benedict’s, acidified dichromate and 2,4‑DNPH Test‑tube reactions that feed directly into AQA RP and OCR PAG How to structure answers using mark‑earning wording vs supporting reasoning ⭐ Chapters 00:00 Intro & Socials 00:05 Distinguishing between acyl chlorides & alcohols 03:00 How to use this walkthrough 03:16 Distinguishing between alcohols, aldehydes & ketones ⭐ How this was made This walkthrough was created using slide‑based explanations, with colour‑coded annotations to separate exam‑marking points from the thinking process, so you can pause, rewatch and build your own written answers from the structure shown. 📲 Connect with Us: 📸 Instagram: @chemistrytutor123 🎵 TikTok: @chemistrytutor123 📧 Email: thechemistrytutor123@gmail.com
