Correct answer: 80

  1. Reaction in Tollen's test

An aldehyde reduces Tollen's reagent:

RCHO+2[Ag(NH3)2]++3OH−→RCOO−+2Ag+4NH3+2H2O\text{RCHO} + 2[Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + 3OH^- \rightarrow \text{RCOO}^- + 2Ag + 4NH_3 + 2H_2ORCHO+2[Ag(NH3​)2​]++3OH−→RCOO−+2Ag+4NH3​+2H2​O

So, 1 mole of aldehyde produces 4 moles of NH3NH_3NH3​.


  1. Molar mass of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde

Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde has structure C6H11CHOC_6H_{11}CHOC6​H11​CHO, i.e. molecular formula:

C7H12OC_7H_{12}OC7​H12​O

Its molar mass is:

7(12)+12(1)+16=84+12+16=112 g/mol7(12) + 12(1) + 16 = 84 + 12 + 16 = 112\,\text{g/mol}7(12)+12(1)+16=84+12+16=112g/mol


  1. Moles of cyclohexanecarbaldehyde

Given mass = 131.8 kg=131800 g131.8\,\text{kg} = 131800\,\text{g}131.8kg=131800g

n=131800112=1176.7857 moln = \frac{131800}{112} = 1176.7857\,\text{mol}n=112131800​=1176.7857mol


  1. Moles of NH3NH_3NH3​ formed

Using the stoichiometric ratio:

1 mol aldehyde→4 mol NH31\,\text{mol aldehyde} \rightarrow 4\,\text{mol } NH_31mol aldehyde→4mol NH3​

n(NH3)=4×1176.7857=4707.1428 moln(NH_3) = 4 \times 1176.7857 = 4707.1428\,\text{mol}n(NH3​)=4×1176.7857=4707.1428mol


  1. Mass of NH3NH_3NH3​ formed

Molar mass of NH3NH_3NH3​:

14+3(1)=17 g/mol14 + 3(1) = 17\,\text{g/mol}14+3(1)=17g/mol

So mass is:

m=4707.1428×17=80021.43 gm = 4707.1428 \times 17 = 80021.43\,\text{g}m=4707.1428×17=80021.43g

=80.021 kg= 80.021\,\text{kg}=80.021kg

Nearest integer:

80\boxed{80}80​


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 606060

But from standard Tollen's test stoichiometry, the correct value is 80\boxed{80}80​ kg.

So the stored answer appears to be incorrect.
