(i) Propanal and propanone :- Propanal and propanone can be distinguished by their reactions with Tollens’ reagent. 

Propanal will form the silver mirror, but propanone does not react.

(ii) Benzaldehyde and acetophenone :- Benzaldehyde and acetophenone can be distinguished by Tollens’ test. 

Benzaldehyde will form silver mirror, on treatment with Tollens’ reagent whereas acetophenone will not show Tollens’ Test.
