Aldehyde are oxidized to carboxylic acids with the Tollen's Reagent which is an oxidizing agent that contains silver oxide and aqueous ammonium hydroxide.
An Aldehyde is a functional group which contains the carbonyl group that is -C=O. The structure for aldehyde is R¹ - C = O - R² where R¹ and R² = H.
Example of Aldehyde is Methanal. The structure of Methanal is H - C = O - H.
Tollens's Reagent is a classical reagent which is widely used in the detection of an aldehyde functional group, an alpha hydroxy ketone functional group and an aromatic aldehyde group in a given test substance.
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Aldehyde are oxidized to carboxylic acids with the Tollen's Reagent which is an oxidizing agent that contains silver oxide and aqueous ammonium hydroxide.
