Vedclass · Answer

(D) Tollen's reagent is a mild oxidizing agent used to detect the presence of aldehydes and certain other reducing groups. $CH_3CHO$ (acetaldehyde) is an aldehyde and reduces Tollen's reagent to silver mirror. $HCOOH$ (formic acid) contains an aldehydic group and acts as a reducing agent,thus reducing Tollen's reagent. $C_6H_5NHOH$ (phenylhydroxylamine) is a strong reducing agent and reduces Tollen's reagent. $C_6H_5NO_2$ (nitrobenzene) does not contain a reducing group capable of reducing Tollen's reagent. Therefore,the correct answer is $D$.
