Benzaldehyde and acetone can be best distinguished using
- A Fehling's solution
- B Sodium hydroxide solution
- C 2, 4-DNP
- D Tollen's reagent
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Tollen's reagent
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
With Fehling's solution, benzaldehyde as well as acetone do not react while with Tollen's reagent, benzaldehyde gives precipitate but acetone does not react. Hence, Tollen's reagent is used to distinguish them.
