Vedclass · Answer

(D) The Silver Mirror test (Tollens' test) is given by aldehydes because they can be easily oxidized to carboxylic acids.Both formaldehyde $(HCHO)$ and acetaldehyde $(CH_3CHO)$ are aldehydes and thus give a positive Silver Mirror test.$HCHO + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + 3OH^- \rightarrow HCOO^- + 2Ag \downarrow + 4NH_3 + 2H_2O$$CH_3CHO + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + 3OH^- \rightarrow CH_3COO^- + 2Ag \downarrow + 4NH_3 + 2H_2O$Ketones like acetone do not give this test.
