Tollen reagent is used for the detection...

Tollen reagent is used for the detection of aldehydes. When a solution of `AgNO_(3)` is added to glucose with `NH_(4)OH`, then gluconic acid is formed.
`Ag^(o+)+e^(-) rarr Ag," "E^(c-)._(red)=0.8V`
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)rarr underset(Gluconic aci d)(C_(6)H_(12)O_(7)+)2H^(o+)+2e^(-) , " "E^(c-)._(o x i d ) =-0.05V`
`[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]^(o+)+e^(-) rarr Ag(s)+2NH_(3), " "E^(c-)._(red)=0.337V`
`[Use2.303xx(RT)/(F)=0.0592` and `(F)/(RT)=38.92at 298 K ]`
Ammonia is always added in this reaction. Which of the followijng must be wrong ?

A

`NH_(3)` combines with `Ag^(+)` to form a complex.

B

`Ag(NH_(3))_(2)^(+)` is a weaker oxidising reagent than `Ag^(+)`

C

In absence of `NH_(3)` silver salt of gluconic acid if formed

D

`NH_(3)` has affected the standard reduction potential of glucose/glconic acid electrode.
