Step 1: Understanding Tollen’s Test Ammoniacal silver nitrate (\( AgNO_3 \)) is used in Tollen’s test to detect reducing sugars. A reducing sugar has a free aldehyde or ketone group that can reduce \( Ag^+ \) to metallic silver.
Step 2: Identifying Reducing and Non-Reducing Sugars - Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar because its glycosidic bond prevents the free aldehyde or ketone group from participating in the reaction. - Maltose, lactose, and fructose are reducing sugars, which means they react with ammoniacal \( AgNO_3 \).
Step 3: Conclusion Since sucrose does not react with Tollen’s reagent, it is the correct answer.
Identify the sets containing isostructural molecules from the following options:
i: \({SiF}_4\), \({CCl}_4\)
ii: \({NF}_3\), \({XeO}_3\)
iii: \({BeCl}_2\), \({HgCl}_2\)
iv: \({SF}_4\), \({XeF}_4\)
One mole of compound AB reacts with one mole of compound CD according to the equation: \[ {AB} + {CD} \rightleftharpoons {AD} + {CB} \] At equilibrium, it was found that \(\frac{3}{4}\) mole of AB and CD had been converted to AD and CB. There is no change in volume. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is:
