प्रश्न
Answer in brief.
Observe the following equation of reaction of Tollens' reagent with aldehyde. How do we know that a redox reaction has taken place? Explain.
\[\ce{R-CHO + 2Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2} + OH^{-}->[\triangle] R-CO{O}^{-} + 2Ag↓ + 4NH3 + 2H2O}\]

उत्तर
When an aldehyde is boiled with Tollens' reagent, it gets oxidized to carboxylate ion and Ag+ ion is reduced to silver (Ag). The oxidation number of carbon in aldehyde increases while the oxidation number of Ag decreases. Hence, this is a redox reaction.
