Tollens' reagent

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To test aldehydes and ketones with Tollens' reagent, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Prepare Tollens' Reagent Tollens' reagent is a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous ammonia (NH3). To prepare it, mix silver nitrate solution with ammonia until the brown precipitate of silver oxide (Ag2O) dissolves, resulting in a clear solution. ### Step 2: Add the Sample Take a small amount of the organic compound you want to test (either an aldehyde or a ketone) and add it to a test tube containing Tollens' reagent. ...
