(b)
Interpretation:
The constitutional isomer of 3-heptanone must be drawn that reacts with Tollens reagent.
Concept Introduction:
Tollens reagent is a mixture of silver nitrate, sodium hydroxide, and ammonia. It is used in the laboratory to analyze the presence of aldehyde. This reagent converts aldehyde into a carboxylic acid. In the silver mirror's test, Tollens reagent is used to identify the functional group on the molecule.
