Expert Answer
Tests to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones:
1. Tollens’ test:
When an aldehyde is heated with Tollens’ reagent, it forms a silver mirror. Tollens’ reagent is an ammoniacal solution of AgNO3.
RCHO + 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ + 3OH- → RCOO- + 2Ag + 2H2O + 4NH3
Ketones do not form a silver mirror.
2. Fehling’s test: When an aldehyde is heated with Fehling’s reagent, it forms a reddish-brown precipitate of cuprous oxide. Fehling’s reagent: Fehling solution A (aqueous solution of CuSO4) + Fehling solution B (alkaline solution of sodium potassium tartrate) 2 Red brown ppt.
RCHO + 2Cu2+ + 5HO- → RCOO- + Cu2O + 3H2O
Ketones do not form a reddish-brown precipitate of cuprous oxide.
