for alkanes and alkenes,
Alkanes turn brown bromine water colorless in UV light but not in dark............while alkenes decolorizes brown bromine water in both conditions.Also Alkanes are not oxidized by acidified K2Cr2O7

For Carboxylic Acid u test with litmus and the acid turns it red.Also it reacts with Na2CO3 to form CO2 that turns lime water milky

For aldehydes and ketones....well aldehydes produce a red precipitate with Fehling's solution or Benedict's solution while ketones remain unreacted
