MCQ
Formic acid and Acetic acid can be differentiated by
  • A
    Esterification
  • Tollen's test
  • C
    $2,4-DNP$ test
  • D
    $NaHCO_3$ test

Answer

Correct option: B.
Tollen's test
b
$\begin{matrix}
   H-C-OH  \\
   ||\,\,\,  \\
   O\,\,\,  \\
\end{matrix}$ part therefore it can give tollen's test.
