Welcome to Sonia Mam Chemistry! In this video, we’ll dive deep into one of the most important tests in organic chemistry—Tollen's Test. This test is primarily used to distinguish aldehydes from ketones using Tollen’s reagent.

🔬 What is Tollen’s Test?
Tollen’s Test, also known as the Silver Mirror Test, is a qualitative test used to detect the presence of aldehydes in a compound. The key component in this reaction is Tollen’s reagent, which contains silver ions (Ag⁺) in an ammonia solution.

🔍 How Does Tollen's Test Work?
When an aldehyde reacts with Tollen’s reagent, the aldehyde is oxidized to a carboxylate anion, and the silver ions are *reduced* to metallic silver. This results in a shiny silver mirror forming on the surface of the test tube, giving the test its famous name! 🧪

📌 In this video, you will learn:
1. *What Tollen's reagent is* and how to prepare it.
2. *The step-by-step procedure* to conduct the Tollen's Test.
3. The *chemical reaction* that takes place during the test.
4. Why *ketones* do not give a positive result with Tollen's Test.
5. The importance of *safety precautions* while handling chemicals.

✨ Why is Tollen’s Test important?
Tollen's Test is particularly useful in *organic analysis* to identify aldehydes in unknown samples. The formation of the silver mirror is a *clear and visually striking* result that students and chemists find fascinating.

Key Takeaways:
- Tollen's Test: A simple, yet effective way to differentiate aldehydes from ketones.
- Silver Mirror Reaction: Formation of metallic silver on the test tube's surface.
- Aldehyde Detection: Quick and reliable method in organic chemistry labs.

Whether you're a student preparing for exams or a chemistry enthusiast, this video will guide you through the Tollen’s Test, helping you understand its concepts and applications with ease.
