In Tollen's test for aldehyde, the overall number of electron(s) transferred to the Tollen's reagent formula \(\left[ Ag \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2}\right]^{+}\) per aldehyde group to form silver mirror is \(......\). (Round off to the Nearest integer)

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(AgNO _{3}+ NaOH \rightarrow AgOH + NaNO _{3}\) \(2 AgOH \rightarrow Ag _{2} O + H _{2} O\) \(Ag _{2} O +4 NH _{3}+ H _{2} O \rightarrow 2 Ag \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2}^{+}+2 O H\) \([Image]\) Total \(2 e ^{-}\) transfer to Tollen's reagent.
