What are some substances that react easily with sugar?
Sugar is easily oxidized, so almost any oxidizing substance reacts with sugar. Acids of oxidized nonmetals, especially, react easily with sugar.
What does Benedicts reagent do to the reducing sugar?
Benedict's test is based on Benedict's reagent, a liquid that changes color based on the sugar content of the material put in. Ketohexose acts as a reducing sugar because benedict's reagent is comprised of sodium citrate, sodium carbonate, and cupric sulfate. The cupric sulfate reacts with the ketohexose, reducing it and causing it to precipitate as cuprous oxide, which is what changes the color of the reagent and determines the sugar content.
Is maltose non reducing sugar?
maltose is a reducing sugar ..
Is Cellobiose is reducing or non reducing sugar?
It's a reducing sugar.
Is glucose is reducing sugar?
yes Any sugar that has an aldehyde or a ketone group in solution is termed a 'reducing sugar' Glucose is a reducing because: 1: It shows a positive to Fehling's Test for reducing sugars by forming a brick red precipitate. 2: Straight chain monosaccharides can act as mild reducing agents, because the aldehyde group that is present can be oxidized to form a carboxylic acid group and also can form a carboxylate ion group in the presence of a base. Ring form monosaccharide does not have aldehyde group thus are not consider as reducing sugars but they are readily in equilibrium with the open chain thereby becoming a reducing sugar.
Why does non reducing sugar change colour when you add hydrochloric acid and hydrogen carbonate crystals?
The non-reducing sugar changes color when hydrochloric acid and hydrogen carbonate crystals because the non-reducing sugar gets oxidized as it gives an electron to the reducing agent.

What is the reducing agent in redox reaction?
the reactant that has the atom that gets oxidized
Does ferrous ion act as reducing or oxidizing agent?
ferrous ion act as reducing agent as it will be oxidized into ferric
What is the function of reducing sugars?
Many sugars contain aldehyde groups. These can be chemically "reduced" to a less oxidized state, i.e., that of an alcohol. That is the reason for the terminology. The concepts of reduction and oxidation is a suitable one for college chemistry, but not for this forum. It takes more than a few words to explain. Simple reducing sugars are able to cause reduction of silver ions to silver metal and cause deposition of a silver mirror finish on the container holding them.
Is gentiobiose a reducing or non-reducing sugar?
a reducung sugar since it has an aldehyde group
