Question

Chemical identification test for morphine

Answer 1

Answer:

The best-known tests for morphine are those made by Method A with Marme's reagent (5, 14) and Wagner's reagent (16, 5, 14). The latter test can be varied, using Method B, to identify less than a gamma (a millionth of a gram) of morphine (15). In addition to these better known tests are several which are quite valuable.
