Which of the statements are correct about the following reactions ?
`MeCHO+[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]^(o+)+overset(Θ)(OH)+ rarr MeCOO^(Θ)+Ag`

Options

A. The equivalent weight of `MeCHO` is 22.
B. Three moles of `overset(Θ)(OH)` are required in the above reaction.
C. `MeCHO` is an oxidising agent.
D. Reduction of `[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]^(o+)` occurs.

Answer

A, B, D

Explanation

Oxidation: ……(i)
Reduction: `[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]^(o+)+bar e rarr Ag+2NH_(3)]xx2` ……(ii)
Molecular mass (Mw) of `CH_(3)CHO=44`
Equivalent weight (Ew) `=(Mw)/("n factor")=(44)/(2)=22`
