List-I Reagent

List-II Characteristic of Compound

(A) Tollen's Reagent

(IV) Aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes

(B) lodoform test

(III) Methyl ketone

(C) Lucas Reagent

(II) Tertiary alcohol

(D) Fehling's Reagent

(I) Aliphatic aldehyde

(A) Tollen's Reagent: This is a mild oxidizing agent (ammoniacal silver nitrate) that reacts with both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes to form a silver mirror. It does not react with most ketones.

(B) Iodoform Test: This test is specific for compounds containing a methyl ketone ($CH_3CO-$) group or alcohols that can be oxidized to one ($CH_3CH(OH)-$). A positive result is indicated by a yellow precipitate of iodoform ($CHI_3$).

(C) Lucas Reagent: A mixture of concentrated $HCl$ and anhydrous $ZnCl_2$ used to distinguish between alcohols. Tertiary alcohols react immediately to produce turbidity (cloudiness), secondary alcohols take a few minutes, and primary alcohols do not react at room temperature.

(D) Fehling's Reagent: This reagent is used to identify aliphatic aldehydes. Unlike Tollen's reagent, Fehling's solution is generally too weak to oxidize aromatic aldehydes like benzaldehyde.
