Give chemical tests to distinguish between :(i) Propanal and propanone (ii) Benzaldehyde and acetophenone |
Answer» (i) Propanal and propanone :- Propanal and propanone can be distinguished by their reactions with Tollens’ reagent. Propanal will form the silver mirror, but propanone does not react. (ii) Benzaldehyde and acetophenone :- Benzaldehyde and acetophenone can be distinguished by Tollens’ test.
