Fehling's test differentiates between aldehydes and ketones. Aldehydes can be oxidized by Cu2+ in the presence of a strong base to form carbonic acids. Ketones cannot be oxidized by this reaction. When the Cu2+ oxidizes the aldehydes it is reduced to Cu+, and forms the compound Cu2O, which is a reddish precipitate. That is how you know you have an aldehyde. Fehling's reagent is usually formed by mixing CuSO4, sodium citrate, and sodium carbonate. The carbonte is used to raise the pH, but doing so would normally form Cu(OH)2, a precipitate. That is where the sodium citrate comes it---the citrate complexes the Cu2+ ions and prevents them from precipitating.
