Q
Q: Which of the following compounds can be distinguished from aldehydes using Tollen's reagent?
Solution:
Tollen's reagent can oxidize aldehydes but not ketones. Acetone is a ketone and will not react.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what Tollen's reagent is. It is a chemical solution used to test for aldehydes.
Step 2: Know that Tollen's reagent can oxidize aldehydes, which means it can react with them and cause a change.
Step 3: Recognize that ketones do not react with Tollen's reagent, meaning they cannot be oxidized by it.
Step 4: Identify the compounds in the question. If one of them is a ketone, it will not react with Tollen's reagent.
Step 5: Conclude that if a compound is a ketone, like acetone, it can be distinguished from aldehydes because it will not react with Tollen's reagent.
