When ammoniacal silver nitrate reacts with organic compounds, this test is called:
When ammoniacal silver nitrate reacts with organic compounds, this test is called:
Show Hint
Tollens' test is used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones. Aldehydes react with Tollens' reagent to form a silver mirror.

- Tollens' test
- Fehling's test
- Benedict's test
- Sanger's test
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Ammoniacal silver nitrate is used in Tollens' test, which is used to detect aldehydes. In the presence of an aldehyde group, the Tollens' reagent is reduced, forming a silver mirror on the test tube.
