    Glucose + Tollens reagent \[\to \] Silver mirror The above process shows

    A) presence of - COOH group

    B) presence of keto group

    C) presence of - CHO group

    D) presence of\[\text{CON}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\] group

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,C{{H}_{2}}OH \\  \,\,glu\cos e \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{CHO}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{(CHOH)}}}\,}}}\,\,+\underset{\text{Tollen }\!\!\!\!\text{ s}\,\text{reagent}}{\mathop{2[Ag{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}]OH}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\,\,C{{H}_{2}}OH}{\overset{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,COON{{H}_{4}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{\,\,\,\,\,\,{{(CHOH)}_{4}}}}}\,}}}\,+\underset{\text{silver}\,\text{mirror}}{\mathop{2Ag}}\,+3N{{H}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] This reaction indicates the presence of ?CHO group in glucose.
