(a)
Interpretation:
The inorganic product formed when propanal undergoes Tollen’s test has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
In organic chemistry, oxidation reaction is referred to the number
In organic chemistry, reduction reaction is referred to the number
Alcohols undergo oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. This depends upon the number of hydrogen atoms that is bonded to the alpha carbon atom. Primary and secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction while tertiary alcohol does not undergo oxidation reaction. Primary alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehyde and carboxylic acid as product. Secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to give ketone as the product.
Aldehyde undergoes oxidation to give carboxylic acid as the product while ketone does not undergo oxidation reaction.
Tollen’s test:
This is also known as silver mirror test. The reagent that is used in Tollen’s test is silver nitrate and ammonia in water. Aldehyde reacts with Tollen’s reagent, where the silver ion is reduced to silver metal and the aldehyde is oxidized to carboxylic acid.
Ketone does not undergo Tollen’s test to deposit silver metal.
Benedict’s test:
This test is also similar to Tollen’s test. In this test,
Answer to Problem 15.80EP
The inorganic product formed is silver metal.
Explanation of Solution
Aldehydes undergo Tollen’s test. The product formed when aldehyde undergo oxidation is a carboxylic acid. The general oxidation reaction for aldehyde can be given as,
Given aldehyde is propanal and the structure can be given as shown below,
This on reaction with Tollen’s reagent gives carboxylic acid and silver metal as the product. The structure of the inorganic product formed and the complete reaction can be given as shown below,
Silver metal is formed as the inorganic product when propanal undergoes Tollen’s test.
The inorganic product formed is given.
(b)
Interpretation:
The inorganic product formed when 3-pentanone undergoes Tollen’s test has to be given.

Answer to Problem 15.80EP
No inorganic product is obtained as 3-pentanone does not undergo Tollen’s test.
Explanation of Solution
Aldehydes undergo Tollen’s test. The product formed when aldehyde undergo oxidation is a carboxylic acid. The general oxidation reaction for aldehyde can be given as,
Given compound is a ketone that is 3-pentanone and the structure can be given as shown below,
This on reaction with Tollen’s reagent does not give oxidized product. Therefore, no reaction takes place when 3-pentanone reacts with Tollen’s reagent.
