Only aldehydes give a positive Tollens test. However, under the strongly basic conditions of the test, alpha-hydroxy ketones can isomerize to aldehydes, so they will also give a positive Tollens test. Fructose is an alpha-hydroxy ketone.

Why sucrose does not give a positive Benedict's test but hydrolyzed sucrose does give a positive beneditcts test?
Sucrose is formed from glucose and fructose.Sucrose is formed from glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose gives positive test for benedict becuz both of them are reducing sugars whereas sucrose is not a reducing sugar so it gives negative test for benedict. On prolonged heating,sucrose will form glucose and fructose (reducing sugars)which ultimately gives a positive result .
How do you distinguish between acetic acid and formic acid?
Formic acid gives positive result in both tollen's test and fehlings test. but acetic acid doesnot.
Can Seliwanoff's test be used to distinguish sucrose from fructose?
Yes, fructose is a ketose, for which Seliwanoff's test is most sensitive. Sucrose is neither entirely a ketose nor an aldose, but is a mixture of both. It will react, but more slowly, producing a much lighter pinkish color.
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.
Does Bayer's Reagent gives glycol with 2-methyl-propene?
Yes Bayers reagent is Alkaline and it gives syn addition of two -OH groups across the double bond but if acidified KMnO4 is taken then that will cleave the double bond and give a mixture of acids
Is fructose gives positive test with tollens reagent?
no negative
Is tartaric acid gives tollen's test positive?
yes... it gives silver particle deposition at the bottom of test tube
What is the difference between Benedict's Reagent and Biuret Reagent?
Benedicts reagent is used to check reducing sugars , it need hat to work and gives red color when positive ,. While biuret reagent is for proteins .there is no need to use heat and gives purple , violet color when positive ..

Is Pararosaniline is schiff's reagent?
No, its reaction with SO2(aq) gives schiff's reagent.
When does a spray of diphenylamine reagent on TLC gives blue coloration?
Diphenylamine is a reagent for DNA.
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
What are the functions of fructose?
It gives supply of quick energy
What does Hydrolysis give?
hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose
What Upon hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose?
Sucrose
