The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The provided matching and explanations are correct. Here's a summary:

List I - Reagents and List II - Chemical Composition/Use:

  • (A) Tollen's Reagent: (III) Ammonical silver nitrate
    • Tollen's Reagent is an ammoniacal solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3).
    • It's used to detect aldehydes, which are oxidized to carboxylic acids, while Ag+ is reduced to metallic silver (silver mirror).
  • (B) Jones Reagent: (IV) Chromium tetroxide sulphuric acid
    • Jones Reagent is a solution of chromium trioxide (CrO3) in sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
    • It's a strong oxidizing agent used to oxidize primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones.
  • (C) Lucas reagent: (II) conc HCl and ZnCl2
    • Lucas reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride (ZnCl2) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl).
    • It's used to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols based on their reactivity with HCl.
  • (D) Fehling Solution: (I) Rochelle salt
    • Fehling Solution contains copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) and Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate).
    • It's used to detect aldehydes, which reduce Cu2+ to Cu2O (red precipitate).

Therefore, the correct matching is:

  • A - III
  • B - IV
  • C - II
  • D - I

This is indeed the correct answer and explanation.
