Another reagent that determines the presence of these compounds is Tollen's reagent, which produces a silver mirror.
One test to detect the presence of these compounds makes use of solutions of copper(II) ("copper two") sulfate and potassium sodium tartrate called Fehling's solution. Partial oxidation of ethanol in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase forms one product from this functional group. Under aqueous conditions, this functional group can be oxidized to form (*) carboxylic acids and the central carbon atom for this functional group is sp² hybridized. Another reagent that determines the presence of these compounds is Tollen's reagent, which produces a silver mirror. For 10 points, name this organic functional group with a carbonyl bonded to a hydrogen and an R group.
