Covers the main ways of distinguishing between aldehydes and ketones using, for example, Tollens' reagent, Fehling's solution or Benedict's solution. Looks at the test for aldehydes and ketones using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (Brady's reagent), plus a quick look at some similar reactions.

CIE (Cambridge International) A level chemistry syllabus learning outcome Statement 17.1(a)(iv): Oxidation to carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acids. The formulae of the two compounds are LiAlH4 and NaBH4. Their structures are: Notice that this is a simplified equation - perfectly acceptable to UK A level examiners. In general terms, reduction of an aldehyde leads to a primary alcohol. CIE (Cambridge International) A level chemistry syllabus learning outcome 18.1(c) This statement is about testing for the carbonyl group in aldehydes or Aldehydes and ketones as carbonyl compounds.
