What compound can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent?
A reducing sugar such as glucose can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent to form a colored precipitate. This reaction is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars in a solution.
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 ..
Why is fructose a reducing agent?
Fructose is a reducing agent because it has a free aldehyde group (on carbon-1) that can undergo oxidation reactions by donating electrons to other compounds, thus reducing them. This makes fructose capable of reducing other substances by itself being oxidized in the process.
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.
Is gentiobiose reducing or non-reducing sugar?
yes it is a reducing sugar, it has a free anomeric OH group. thus it can also mutarotate

When a reducing agent donates an electron to another molecule the reducing agent is?
oxidized. Reducing agents are substances that have a tendency to donate electrons, thus becoming oxidized themselves in the process.
Is sucrose is reducing sugar?
No, it is not a reducing sugar.

Why does non reducing sugar change colour when you add hydrochloric acid and hydrogen carbonate crystals?
Non-reducing sugars typically do not undergo a Maillard reaction, which is responsible for browning in reducing sugars. However, when you add hydrochloric acid and hydrogen carbonate crystals to a non-reducing sugar, it may undergo hydrolysis to break down into reducing sugars, which can then participate in the Maillard reaction and cause browning.
Is beet root reducing sugar or non reducing sugar?
reducing sugar

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.
What is the reducing agent in redox reaction?
the reactant that has the atom that gets oxidized
