What is the indicator and color change for a positive test for glucose?
Benedict solution is the chemical indicator for simple sugars.
Why does the Benedict solution change colours when heated with glucose?
sugars are converted to enediols by benedict's reagent on boiling. these enediols reduce Cu(II) to Cu(I) which then forms CuOH (yellow in color). on heating CuOH yields Cu2O which is orange/red in color.
How do clinistix work?
The sticks contain enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase) which react in the presense of glucose. The glucose oxidase changes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the peroxidase reacts with that hydrogen peroxide to change a pigment in the stick from neutral color to positive color.
What color do you observe for the solution of hydrated copper(II) chloride in water?
The solution color of cupric oxide is blue to green.
What is the color of sodium silicate solution?
This solution, if it is pure, is white or colorless.
What color will glucose turn when mixed with lugol's solution?
orange
What color is benedicts solution when mixed with bread?
because it contains glucose

What is the color of a ferrous sulfate solution while heating?
The aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, FeSO4, is light green on heating. It changes to yellow then brown due to formation of ferric sulfate.
What color does the blue colored glucose indicator turn when glucose is present?
The blue colored glucose indicator is something called "Benedict". Glucose has no color to start off with. Once you add benedict to it inside a testube, you have to heat it up in a waterbath. The color you should get it a green, yellow, orange (you should get this color mostly), orange-red, or brick red depending on how much glucose is in the solution.
What will happen if you pour starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?
The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.
What test would you need to perform to prove that it is the combination of glucose and the glucose indicator solution that changes color when heated and not just the glucose or the glucose indicator?
That's actually not that difficult. If one wishes to answer this question in depth, feel free, but all one must do is test them separately. Just put glucose and your indicator (most-likley benedict's solution) in separate beakers, and then heat them both. Nothing will happen to either of them.
What color does Benedict's reagent turns if a sugar is present?
Depending on the amount of glucose (sugar) that is present, the solution will turn a certain color. The progression goes as follows: blue (no glucose present), green, yellow, orange, red, and then brick red or brown for a very high glucose content.
What color is glucose?
Brown
What color does Benedicts solution turn when mixed with simple sugars?
Boil the solution after adding Benedict's reagent, the solution will turn orange in color. Jitender.
What is the reaction between glucose solution and Benedict's solution?
yes because the glucose molecules contain available reactive carbonyl groups- ketones or aldehydes which lose electrons (hence- reducing) to ions in the copper sulfate in Benedict's solution. a reaction between the ions and oxygen occur to create cuprous oxide which makes a brick red colour
