Vedclass · Answer

(B) Statement-$I$ is correct: Tollen's reagent $([Ag(NH_3)_2]^+)$ is used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones. Aldehydes (like acetaldehyde) reduce Tollen's reagent to form a silver mirror,whereas ketones (like acetone) do not react with it.Statement-$II$ is correct: Fehling's test is specific to aliphatic aldehydes. Aromatic aldehydes,such as benzaldehyde,do not give a positive Fehling's test because the aldehyde group is directly attached to the benzene ring,which is not easily oxidized by the mild Fehling's reagent.

$I. HNO_3$	$II. NH_2NH_2 / OH^-$
$III. 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+$	$IV. NaOH$

Statement-$I$ :- Acetaldehyde and acetone can be distinguished by Tollen's reagent.
Statement-$II$ :- Aromatic aldehyde does not give Fehling test.
