How do you prepare tollen reagent?
To prepare Tollens reagent, mix aqueous silver nitrate with ammonia solution until a precipitate forms. Then add sodium hydroxide solution to redissolve the precipitate and form the final reagent. It is used to test for the presence of aldehydes in a reaction.
What reagent is used to test for unsaturated hydrocarbons?
This reagent is bromine in solution.
What chemical reagent of protein?
Biuret reagent is used to test for protein in urine. It is a common test that students in biology class perform. Urine is added to a test tube, followed by approximately the same amount of Biuret reagent. If the solution turns lavender this means that there are proteins present in the urine.
Strontium nitrate flame test?
When strontium nitrate is heated, it gives off a red flame due to the presence of strontium ions. This flame test is commonly used in chemistry to identify strontium compounds.
What is the chemical structure of Tollen's reagent?
Tollen's reagent is usually ammoniacal silver nitrate. Even in other variations it consists of an aqueous diaminesilver (I) complex. This diaminesilver (I) complex acts as an agent. This when placed in a test tube forms a silver mirror. Tollen's reagent is generally ammoniacal silver nitrate. But it could be other reagents as well, as long as the complex diamminesilver(I) complex ion [Ag(NH3)2]+ can be generated.
