    Aldehydes and ketones can be distinguished by using

    A)  Lucas reagent                  

    B)  Tollen's reagent

    C)  lodoform test                  

    D)  Phenyl hydrazine

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Aldehyde and ketones can be distinguished by using of Tollen's reagent. \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+\underset{Tollen's\,reagent}{\mathop{A{{g}_{2}}O}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]                                                                 \[\underset{Silver\,mirror}{\mathop{+Ag\downarrow }}\,\] \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}+A{{g}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}no\,reaction.\] Lusas test is given by alcohols. Both acetaldehyde and acetone react with\[{{I}_{2}}\] and\[NaOH\]give iodoform. Both aldehydes and ketones react with phenyl hydrazine gives hydrazone.
