Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To distinguish between acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) and acetone (CH₃COCH₃), we can perform the Tollens' test, which is a classic method for identifying aldehydes and ketones. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Prepare Tollens' Reagent**: - Mix a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) with ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) to form Tollens' reagent, which contains silver(I) ions in the presence of ammonia. The chemical formula for Tollens' reagent is Ag(NH₃)₂OH. 2. **Add the Sample**: ...
