Which of the following is incorrect?
Options
- AF e C l 3 is used in detection of phenol
- BFehling solution is used in detection of glucose
- CTollen's reagent is used in detection of unsaturation
- DN a H S O 3 is used in detection of carbonyl compound
Correct answer
C. Tollen's reagent is used in detection of unsaturation
Step-by-step solution
Tollen's reagent is a solutionof ammoniacal silver nitrate and used for the detection of - C H O group. Aldehydes reduce Tollen's reagent and itself get oxidised to give A g + ions to Ag powder which forms the silver coloured mirror in the test tube. So this test is also known as silver mirror test.
