Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of glucose with Tollen's reagent is a characteristic test for the presence of an aldehydic group $(-CHO)$.Glucose gets oxidized to gluconic acid,and the silver ions $(Ag^+)$ are reduced to metallic silver $(Ag)$,which forms a silver mirror on the inner walls of the test tube.Reaction: $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + 3OH^- \rightarrow C_6H_{11}O_7^- + 2Ag + 4NH_3 + 2H_2O$.

Glucose gives a silver mirror test with Tollen's reagent. This indicates the presence of which group?
