The equation is as follows:
CH2OH(CHOH)4CHO(aq) + 2Ag(NH3)2+(aq) + 3OH- (aq) →
(Glucose) (Tollen's Reagent, Ammoniacal Silver Nitrate)
2Ag(s) + CH2OH(CHOH)4COO-(aq) + 4NH3(aq) + 2H2O(l)
(Silver metal, (Gluconic acid)
which forms silver mirror)

What is the equation for the reaction between tollens' reagent and butanone?
Does not react. Because Tollens' reagent only works with aldehydes. Butanone is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
What happen when you react sugar like glucose and fructose with tollen' s reagent and the Fehlings solution?
Glucose oxidizes very quickly, and creates a silver mirror layer between the glucose solution and the Tollens' reagent. This is because of how the ketose reacts and reduces the silver molecules in Tollen's reagent.
Is fructose gives positive test with tollens reagent?
no negative
Does the tollens test deal with alkenes?
No, the Tollen's Silver Mirror Test only confirms the presence of aldehydes.
What compound can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent?
All the compounds having free aldehyde group as reducing sugars.

Will CH3CHO react to tollens?
Tollens are chemical reagents that are commonly used to determine whether a known carbonyl containing compound is an aldehyde. It is stated that CH3CHO will not react to tollens at all.
What is the reaction of acetone and tollens reagent?
Tollens' reagent is used to determine whether a carbonyl containing compound is an aldehyde or a ketone. Acetone is a ketone so it will not readily react with Tollens' reagent.
What substances give a positive tollens test?
When adding the aldehyde or ketone to Tollens' reagent, the test tube is put in a warm water bath. If the reactant under test is an aldehyde, Tollens' test results in a silver mirror. If the reactant is a ketone, it will not react because a ketone cannot be oxidized easily. A ketone has no available hydrogen atom on the carbonyl carbon that can be oxidized - unlike an aldehyde, which has this hydrogen atom.
