Vedclass · Answer

(C) The silver mirror test (Tollens' test) is given by aldehydes and $\alpha$-hydroxy ketones. $HCHO$ (formaldehyde),$CH_3CHO$ (acetaldehyde),and $HCOOH$ (formic acid) all contain an aldehydic group or a group that can be oxidized to an aldehyde,thus they give a positive silver mirror test. $CH_3COOH$ (acetic acid) is a carboxylic acid that does not contain an aldehydic group and cannot be oxidized under these conditions,so it does not give the silver mirror test.
