Give chemical test to
to distinguish between
ethanal and acetic acid?​

Answer 1

Answer:

To distinguish acetaldehyde and acetic acid you can use a silver mirror test. You can use Tollen's reagent to carry out a silver mirror test. The Tollen's reagent is an ammoniacal silver nitrate solution. Acetic acid does not react with Tollen's reagent.
