Question
Assertion: Aldehydes and ketones, both react with Tollen’s reagent to form silver mirror.
Reason: Both, aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group.
Options
Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reasson is not correct explanation of assertion.
Solution
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Explanation:
The silver mirror test can be used to determine Tollen's. \[\ce{[Ag(NH2)2]+ OH-}\]. Only aldehydes, not ketones, react with Tollen's reagent to create silver.
A silver mirror test is not given with this affirmative test.
The carbonyl group is present in both aldehyde and ketone.
