Want this question answered?
When galactose is oxidized by nitric acid, insoluble mucic acid is formed. A positive result is the formation of a precipitate. Lactose is a dimer of glucose and galactose. The nitric acid will hydrolyze the dimer and so lactose will also give a positive result.
which halogens give a positive beilstein test?
yes,it give positive test
The Benedict test will return a positive value for any reducing sugar. It will work with fructose, for example. Benedict solution oxidizes all the reducing sugars such as glucose, galactose and fructose. This implies that a positive result of Benedict's test can be any of the reducing sugars, not necessarily glucose. It will oxidize the carbonyl (which present in all type of sugar classes). So if we get a positive result in the Benedict test, it is not necessarily glucose; it could be galactose or fructose that also a reducing sugar. So Benedict test can't be used to assure glucose.
After hydrolysis sucrose did give a positive test. It reduces sugar that has hemiketal and hemiaetal in it.
No. The Biuret test only gives a positive result if a peptide bond exists. Phenol doesn't have a peptide bond, so it will not give a positive test.
Fermentation: Hexoses (six carbon sugars), with the exception of galactose, are fermented to carbon dioxide and ethanol by the action of yeast. Benedict's Test: Fructose reacts very rapidly, galactose more slowly
Formalin gives a positive Fehling's solution test.
why does salicylic acid give a positive test with FeCl3
I have to do weekly breathalyzer test will Benadryl make me test positive
If the test is done properly, the chances to give false positive test are very slim indeed.
Phenols give a positive test.
