Strongest reducing agent that can reduce the Tollen's reagent is
Correct answer: A. HCHO
- A. HCHO
- B. -CHO
- C. CH3CHO
- D. CH3COCH3
Explanation
Aliphatic aldehydes are reactive than aromatic aldehydes and ketones so, a small aliphatic aldehyde can reduce Tollen's reagent

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
