Question
What is Tollen’s reagent?
✓
Answer
Tollen’s reagent is an ammoniacal silver nitrate $, [Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ OH^–.$
It is prepared by adding $NH_4OH$ solution to silver nitrate solution.
It is a stronger oxidising agent than Fehling solution. Aldehyde when heated with Tollen’s reagent, silver mirror is deposited.
