Does the tollens test deal with alkenes?
No, the Tollen's Silver Mirror Test only confirms the presence of aldehydes.
Equation that describes the results of tollens test on glucose?
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 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.
What is the word equation for the reaction between silver nitrate and potassium bromide?
This equation is:AgNO3 + KBr = AgBr(s) + KNO3Silver bromide is a white precipitate.
What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs between silver nitrate and potassium iodide?
The reaction is:Ag+ + (NO3)- + K + I- = AgI(s) + (NO3)- + K
How is a positive tollens test recognised?
A silverish ppt. Called "silver mirror"
What is the principles of tollen's test?
The principle of Tollens' test is to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones. It involves the reduction of silver ions to silver metal in the presence of aldehydes, which results in the formation of a silver mirror on the inner surface of the test tube. Ketones do not give a positive Tollens' test because they do not undergo this reaction with silver ions.
what is the outcome of tollens reagent reacting with methanal, ethanol and propanone?
The outcome of the Tollens reagent reacting with methanal (formaldehyde), ethanol (ethyl alcohol), and propanone (acetone) is the formation of metallic silver (Ag) in the case of methanal, while ethanol and propanone do not show a significant reaction with Tollens reagent. Tollens reagent is used as a chemical test to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones, where aldehydes react to produce a silver mirror, while ketones do not react.
Does the tollens test deal with alkenes?
No, the Tollen's Silver Mirror Test only confirms the presence of aldehydes.

Why pyrrole-2-aldehyde does not respond to tollens reagent?
Pyrrole-2-aldehyde does not respond to Tollens reagent because it is not a reducing sugar. Tollens reagent (silver nitrate) is used to test for the presence of aldehyde groups, which are commonly found in reducing sugars. Reducing sugars contain aldehyde groups and are capable of donating electrons to Tollens reagent, forming a silver mirror on the test tube wall. Pyrrole-2-aldehyde does not contain aldehyde groups, and therefore is not a reducing sugar. As a result, it does not react with Tollens reagent.
Is vanillin positive in tollens test?
No.While vanillin is an aldehyde, which should react with Tollens' reagent to precipitate silver metal, vanillin does not "pass" Tollens' test. Tollens' reagent is very basic (sodium or potassium hydroxide). Vanillin has a phenolic hydrogen (OH bonded to a phenyl ring) which is slightly acidic. Vanillin will react first with the excess hydroxide ions in solution to form a phenoxide salt, which will not participate in the silver-precipitating reaction.
Observation the reaction of formaldehyde with tollen's reagent?
it is know as the silver mirror test, the overall half equation reaction is => CH2O + 2OH- ==> CH2O2 + H2O +2e- [Ag(NH3)2]+ + e- ==> Ag + 2NH3 CH2O + 2OH- + 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ ==> CH2O2 H2O + 2Ag +4NH3
What is the balance equation for Magnesium and silver nitrate?
No Reaction
What is the balanced equation for silver nitrate and copper nitrate?
No reaction
What evidence of a chemical reaction in the appearance of dark spots on an old mirror?
The dark spots on a mirror are the effect of the decomposition of silver nitrate (AgNO3) to silver (Ag).
What is equation for the reaction between silver and bromine?
you find yourself
