Select one or more of the following:

  • Oxidised to ketones

  • Reduced to carboxylic acids

  • Oxidised to carboxylic acids

Explanation

Question 8 of 17

1

What observation do you see when Tollen's reagent is added to an aldehyde?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Brown precipitate

  • Silver mirror

  • No observation

  • Brick red precipitate

Explanation

Question 9 of 17

1

Why is a silver mirror formed?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Al ions oxidised to Al metal

  • Silver ions reduced to silver metal

Explanation

Question 10 of 17

1

What is the equation for the silver mirror being formed?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Ag-(aq) + e+ ---> Ag(s)

  • Ag+(aq) ---> Ag(s) + e-

  • Ag+(s) + e- ---> Ag(aq)

  • Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s)

Explanation

Question 11 of 17

1

What observation do you see when Tollen's added to ketone?

Select one or more of the following:

  • No observation

  • Silver mirror

  • Deep blue solution

  • Orange to green colour change

Explanation

Question 12 of 17

1

What's the reason for no observation?

Select one or more of the following:

  • The reaction is too slow

  • Ketones are not reduced by Tollens' reagent

  • Ketones are not oxidised by Tollens' reagent

  • Ketones are just dead

Explanation

Question 13 of 17

1

What's the oxidising species in Tollens' reagent?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Ag(aq)

  • Alkaline

Explanation

Question 15 of 17

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

Filter and product. Measure of purified product which is very . Compare the melting point to a or to identify the unknown product and therefore the carbonyl compound.

Explanation

Question 16 of 17

1

Why does the yellow/orange solid have to be recrystallised?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Because it needs to be crystallised again

  • Because its slightly impure

  • Because it's fun

  • Because it needs to be more solid

Explanation

Question 17 of 17

1

Why can't boiling points be used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones?

Select one or more of the following:

  • It's not possible to know all of the boiling points for every single one

  • It will all boil away

  • Some are very close together/similar

  • It's not accurate enough
