Tollens’ test, also known as silver-mirror test, is a qualitative laboratory test used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a

ketone. It exploits the fact that aldehydes are readily oxidized (see oxidation),
whereas ketones are not.
Tollens’ test uses a reagent known as Tollens’ reagent,
which is a colorless,
basic,
aqueous solution containing silver ions coordinated to ammonia [Ag(NH3)2+].
It is prepared using a two-step procedure.

Explanation:

Tollens' reagent is prepared by using two-step process : -

Step 1:

Silver oxide is formed by mixing aqueous silver nitrate with base like sodium hydroxide. The reaction is shown below as:

AgNO_3 + NaOH &\rightarrow AgOH + NHO_3 \nonumber \\ 2AgOH &\rightarrow Ag_2O + H_2O

Step 2

Ammonia solution is drop-wise added until all the silver oxide dissolves to form the reagent. The reaction is shown below as:

Ag_2O + 4NH_3 + H_2O \rightarrow 2Ag(NH_3)_2^+ + 2OH^-

Which pair has identical electron configurations?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell  

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

  • S²⁻ and CI

S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

  • K⁺ and CI⁻

K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

  • S and Ar

S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

  • Cl⁻ and K

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹

What is Markanikov rule?<br>​
lana [24]
Markovnikov rule, in organic chemistry, a generalization, formulated by Vladimir Vasilyevich Markovnikov in 1869, stating that in addition reactions to unsymmetrical alkenes, the electron-rich component of the reagent adds to the carbon atom with fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to it, while the electron-deficient component ...

Problem page what kind of intermolecular forces act between a dichlorine monoxide molecule and a hydrogen bromide molecule?
marta [7]
Dichlorine monoxide has the same structure like that of water. So, this is a polar molecule. For polar molecules, the dominant intermolecular force would be dipole-dipole forces. For HBr, there is a force between two oppositely charged ions, H⁺ and Br⁻. So, the dominant intermolecular force is electrostatic attraction.
