​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tollens test is a laboratory test which is used to identify an aldehyde and a ketone. It is also called as silver mirror test. In this test, Tollens reagent is used for the oxidation of aldehyde, whereas ketone does not give this test. Thus, the reaction of aldehyde with Tollens reagent gives a positive Tollens test.
