Positive Test The disappearance of the KMnO 4 's purple color and the appearance of a brown suspension of MnO 2 is a positive test. Complications. Water insoluble compounds should be dissolved in ethanol, methanol, or acetone. 1  Often, the brown precipitate fails to form and the solution turns reddish-brown. 2  Easily oxidized compounds give a positive test: a) Most aldehydes give a positive test. b) Formic acid and its esters give a positive test.

There are two major types of mesophyll material found within leaves. These types are formed in distinct layers within the leaf. The first of these two layers, which lies on the outside close to the epidermis, is referred to as the palisade layer.The palisade layer of mesophyll is comprised of tightly packed cells containing many chloroplasts.The second subtype, the so-called spongy layer, is a less densely packed material with a great deal of air in-between cells. It also contains far less chloroplasts than the other type of mesophyll.hese types are formed in distinct layers within the leaf.
