What tests are used to test for the presence of starch and glucose?

for the starch iodine test is performed in which the starch reacts with iodine to produce dark blue colour which confirms the presence of starch. for glucose benedict's and fehling's test is performed. benedict's test: 1 ml sample is mixed with 1 ml of benedicts solution and the heated upto boiling if the colur changes to brick red then it confirms the presence of glucose fehling's test: similarly 1 ml fehling's solution I & fehling's solution II each in taken together and to it 1 ml of the sample is takenon then heated uptill boiling. if the colour changes to brick red the it confirms the presence of glucose.

Compare the boiling and freezing points of 1m solution of glucose to a 1m solution of Cacl2. Why does CaCl2 have a higher boiling and a lower freezing Please explain not just say its 1m and then 3m?

Boiling and freezing points are colligative properties, meaning they depend on the number of solute particles dissolve in solution. Glucose is a molecular compound so it is one particle dissolved in solution. CaCl2 will dissociate into three particles in solution. There are three times as many particles present in solution when CaCl2 dissolves.


What chemical would you use to test food for glucose?

A fairly simple test is using clinistix- these are used for diabetes testing and available in any chemists, just dip them into any solution thought to contain glucose and they will turn from pink to purple (there are other colours available though)
