A) Acetaldehyde
B) Acetone
C) Diethyl ether
D) Benzophenone
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] All aldehydes including reducing sugar (as glucose, fructose) gives silver mirror test (with Tollens' reagent) \[RCHO+2{{[Ag{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}]}^{+}}+3O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow{\Delta }\] \[\underset{Silvermirror}{\mathop{RCO{{O}^{-}}+2Ag\downarrow }}\,+4N{{H}_{3}}+2{{H}_{2}}O(R=H,C{{H}_{3}})\]Thus, acetaldehyde and formaldehyde give silver mirror test.
