Question

List of compounds which give positive results for silver mirror test

Answer 1

Tollens' reagent is usually ammoniacal silver nitrate.It is an chemical reagent most commonly used to determine whether a known carbonyl-containing compound is an aldehyde or alpha-hydroxy ketone.A positive test with Tollens' reagent results in elemental silver precipitating out of solution,on the inner surface of the test tube, producing a characteristic "silver mirror”.
1).Aldehydes will be positive in Tollens' test and a mirror-like material will be formed.
2).If the ketone is an alpha-hydroxy ketone, then the Tollens' reagent will react.
3).Tollens' reagent is also a test for alkynes with a triple bond in the 1-position. A yellow precipitate of the metal acetylide is formed in this case.

I hope this helps!  :)
