Description: Leah4sci.com/redox presents: Tollens Reagent Silver Mirror Test for Aldehydes Need help with Orgo? Download my free guide ’10 Secrets to Acing Organic Chemistry’ HERE: leah4sci.com/orgo-ebook The Tollens Test for Aldehydes, also known as the Silver Mirror Test, is a great way to confirm if an unknown carbonyl is an aldehyde or not. This occurs by reacting the unknown carbonyl with Silver +1 which gets reduced to metallic silver (Ag 0) when the aldehyde is oxidized to a carboxylic acid. This video walks you through the reaction, complete test as well as the step by step radical mechanism. In this video: [0:16] Mechanism for silver mirror test [3:52] Products of the Tollen’s test [4:44] Tollen’s test using Carboxylic acid molecule [9:16] Neutralization of Acids in Basic solutions This is Redox Video #12.
