What is Tollen's reagent formula?
Tollens' reagent is an alkaline solution of ammoniacal silver nitrate and is used to test for aldehydes. Silver ions in the presence of hydroxide ions come out of solution as a brown precipitate of silver(I) oxide, Ag2O(s). This precipitate dissolves in aqueous ammonia, forming the diamminesilver(I) ion, [Ag(NH3)2]+.
Which is tollens reagent?
Tollens' reagent is a chemical reagent used to determine the presence of an aldehyde, aromatic aldehyde and alpha-hydroxy ketone functional groups. The reagent consists of a solution of silver nitrate and ammonia.
What is tollens reagent and its use?
Tollens' reagent is a chemical reagent used to determine the presence of an aldehyde or alpha-hydroxy ketone functional groups. The reagent consists of a solution of silver nitrate and ammonia. It was named after its discoverer, the German chemist Bernhard Tollens.
Which will give positive Tollen's reagent test?
A terminal α-hydroxy ketone gives a positive Tollens' test because Tollens' reagent oxidizes the α-hydroxy ketone to an aldehyde. Tollens' reagent solution is colorless. ketone Ag+ is reduced to Ag0 which often forms a mirror.
What is Fehling solution formula?
The net reaction between an aldehyde and the copper(II) ions in Fehling's solution may be written as: RCHO + 2 Cu2+ + 5 OH− → RCOO− + Cu2O + 3 H2O.

How will you distinguish between aldehyde and ketone?
Both possess a carbonyl group, which is a carbon double bonded to an oxygen. An aldehyde has at least one hydrogen connected to the carbonyl carbon. The second group is either a hydrogen or a carbon-based group. In contrast, a ketone has two carbon-based groups connected to the carbonyl carbon.
What is the purpose of Fehling test?
Fehling's test is a chemical test used to differentiate between reducing and non-reducing sugars. This test can also be used to distinguish ketone functional group carbohydrates and water-soluble carbohydrates.
What is meant by Schiff's reagent?
: a solution of fuchsine decolorized by treatment with sulfur dioxide that gives a useful test for aldehydes because they restore the dye's color — compare feulgen reaction.
What is Fehling A and Fehling B?
Fehling's solution is always prepared fresh in the laboratory. ... Fehling's A is a blue aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate crystals, while Fehling's B is a clear solution of aqueous potassium sodium tartrate (also known as Rochelle salt) and a strong alkali (commonly sodium hydroxide).
What happens in Fehling's test?
In this test the presence of aldehydes but not ketones is detected by reduction of the deep blue solution of copper(II) to a red precipitate of insoluble copper oxide. The test is commonly used for reducing sugars but is known to be NOT specific for aldehydes.
