Silver mirror test with Tollens' reagent. When a few drops of an aldehyde solution are added to a clear solution of Tollens' reagent a precipitate start to form. Gradually it darkens The test differentiates between aldose and ketose sugars. Tollen's reagent is made from diluteÃ‚Âsodium hydroxideÃ‚Âadded aqueousÃ‚Âsilver nitrate and then ammonia is added to the resulting solution.
