On treatment with Tollens’ reagent, aldehydes get oxidised to corresponding carboxylic acids and a bright silver mirror is produced due to the formation of silver metal. Ketones are not oxidised by Tollens’ reagent. Thus, Tollens’ test is used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones. What ...
Tollen's reagent converts an aldehyde or an alpha hydroxyl carbonyl compound to an acid. The given compound contains a terminal aldehyde group. On... Learn more about this topic: Aldehyde | Formula, Structure & Formation from Chapter 5/ Lesso...
An aldehyde can be distinguished from a ketone by the use of the reagent: View Solution The most appropriate reagent to distinguish an aldehyde from a ketone is : View Solution एल्डिहाइड और कीटोन के बीच अंतर करन...
The polyamide surface is modified with aldehyde functions in a first step employing glutaraldehyde. The resulting polymer material is therefore equipped with reducing groups necessary for the reduction of silver in a next step. The polymer is subsequently treated with Tollens' reagent yielding a yellow...
