It acts as a control for the experiment so that you can compare the result (of benedict's test in water) with the other test (using food with sugar)

What are the components of Benedict's reagent?
s of benedict reagent
How Benedict's reagent solution react with potato juice?
potato juice if mixed with benedict's reagent will give a brick-red precipitate.
What reagent is used to test for glucose and starch?
Glucose meter and test stripe
What sugar might be present in a sweet tasting food that tests negative with the Benedicts reagent?
Sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide therefore does not have free electrons in the sugar to react with the Benedict reagent. Glucose has free electrons therefore shows positive with the Benedict reagent.
Why Na2Co3 is added with CuSo3 at preparing benedict's reagent?
just for FUN!

Which sugar gives a negative reaction to Benedict reagent?
Benedict's reagent is a type of chemical that is used to test if reducing sugars are present or not. The chem'ical is named after Stanley Rossiter Benedict.
What color is Benedict's reagent originally?
blue
List two advantages in using the clinitest reagent in preference to Benedict's reagent?
The Clinitest reagent is a self test so it does not need to be performed in a hospital setting or by a nurse or doctor. The Clinitest reagent has proven to be more accurate than the Benedict's reagent.
What reagent is used to test for glucose and starch?
Glucose meter and test stripe
What is the chemical formula for quantitative Benedict's reagent?
Benedict's reagent is an aqueous solution of copper (II) sulfate, sodium carbonate, sodium citrate dihydrate and 2,5-difluorotoluene.
What is Benedict's solution used for?
Benedict's solution is most commonly used for testing if sugars are present in any enzyme, or solution, that contains starch. ex. Water + Starch Then test for sugars with benedict's.
What sugar might be present in a sweet tasting food that tests negative with the Benedicts reagent?
Sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide therefore does not have free electrons in the sugar to react with the Benedict reagent. Glucose has free electrons therefore shows positive with the Benedict reagent.
What substance is present when Benedict reagent turns red?
glucose

How does sodium chloride react with Benedicts?
The Benedict reagent is not for sodium chloride testing.
