Solution :-

i. A qualitative test for proteins: Xanthoproteic test

Experimental Material Observation Inference
(a) Urine Yellow precipitate The formation of yellow precipitate suggests
the presence of protein in the food material
(b) Water No precipitate  

ii. A qualitative test for fats: Emulsification test

Experimental Material Observation Inference
(a) Sweat Oil droplets Formation of oil droplets
i.e., emulsification signifies the presence of fats
in the provided food material.
(b) Water No oil droplet  

iii. A qualitative test for oils: Paper test

Experimental Material Observation Inference
(a) Food material
(sample)
Paper turns into a
Translucent
Opaque paper becomes
translucent which
suggests the presence
of fats in the food
material
(b) Water Paper gets soggy
