What compound can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent?
All the compounds having free aldehyde group as reducing sugars.
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 does Tollens reagent Fehlings solution 2 4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine and Benedicts solution test for and what are the results?
Brady's reagent (2,4-DNP) forms a orange precipitate for all carbonyl compounds (C=O functional group), both aldehydes (primary) and ketones (secondary). However, recrystalisation of the orange precipitate gives characteristic melting points of the crystal for each carbonyl compound (therefore the presence of an orange precipitate indicates a carbonyl compound and the melting point of the crystallised precipitate indicates the type of carbonyl compound; aldehyde or ketone). Tollen's reagent (diamminesilver nitrate solution) is reduced and forms a silver mirror when heated with an aldehyde. It distinguishes between aldehydes and ketones as ketones do not react (no silver mirror formed) as they can not be oxidised further. Fehling's solution (copper II ions in sodium hydroxide) is reduced from a blue solution (Cu II ions) to a brick red precipitate (Cu I ions) when heated in the presence of an aldehyde. Ketones do not react as they can not be oxidised further. The Benedict's test is used in organic chemistry to distinguish between reducing sugars (brick red precipitate formed) and non-reducing sugars (no reaction).
Is fructose gives positive test with tollens reagent?
no negative
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 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.
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.
What is the equation for sucrose and tollens reagent?

What are the components of tollens reagent?
tollen reagent

Does not react. Because Tollens' reagent only works with aldehydes. Butanone is methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
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.
What is formula of tollens reagent?
2[Ag(NH3)2]OH is tollen's reagent
