To answer the question about how aliphatic aldehydes differ from aromatic aldehydes in two specific reactions, we can consider the following: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Tollens' Test:** - **Aliphatic Aldehyde Reaction:** When an aliphatic aldehyde, such as acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO), is treated with Tollens' reagent (ammoniacal silver nitrate), it reduces the silver ions (Ag⁺) to metallic silver, resulting in a silver mirror on the test tube. - **Aromatic Aldehyde Reaction:** In contrast, when an aromatic aldehyde like benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO) is treated with Tollens' reagent, it also gives a positive result, as both types of aldehydes can reduce silver ions. ...
