Q. Find the number of compounds listed below will be oxidised by Tollen's reagent (Ammonical silver nitrate solution).
$H_3C-CHO, H_3C-\overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}-CH_3,H_2\underset{\overset{|}{OH}}{C}-\overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}-CH_3, H _{3} C - CH _{2} C \equiv CH , H _{3} C \equiv C - CH _{3}$, Fructose

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Aldehydes and $\alpha$-hydroxy ketones will be oxidised. $1$-butyne will react but it is not a redox reaction.
