ALL ALDEHYDES GIVE BRIGHT SILVER MIRROR WHEN REACT WITH AMMONICAL SILVER NITRATE.

I LIKE HARRY POTTER BOOKS, GAMES, MOVIES, THEMES, WALLPAPERS, ANIMATIONS ETC. I HAVE COMPLETED READING ALL POTTER BOOKS, GAMES AND SEEN ALL THE MOVIES AND I OWN THE SAME.

I AM A BIG FAN IF J.K.ROWLING AND WARNER BROTHERS.

Both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes give silver mirror test with Tollen's reagent.

why doesnt glyoxal answer??? And this suggests that all aldehydes answer it and FYI aromatic aldehydes dont answer only Fehlings as shown here
