Yes, glyoxal will respond to the Fehling test because it is an aldehyde and can undergo oxidation by Cu(II) ions present in the Fehling's reagent to form a carboxylic acid. This reaction results in the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) which forms a brick-red precipitate of Cu2O indicating a positive test result.
No, formic acid does not react in the Fehling's test. The Fehling's test is specifically used to test for the presence of reducing sugars. Formic acid is a carboxylic acid and does not possess a reducing sugar functionality.
Fehling's test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars in a solution. It involves the reaction of the reducing sugar with Fehling's solution, resulting in the formation of a colored precipitate if a reducing sugar is present. This test is commonly used to test for the presence of sugars like glucose and fructose.
Benedict's test is more sensitive than Fehling's test for detecting reducing sugars in a sample. Benedict's reagent has a lower detection threshold and is known to give more accurate results compared to Fehling's reagent.
Benzaldehyde does not give a positive Fehling test because it is an aromatic aldehyde, which lacks the alpha-hydrogen necessary to undergo oxidation. In the Fehling test, aldehydes with alpha-hydrogens are oxidized to carboxylic acids, and since benzaldehyde does not have alpha-hydrogens, it does not undergo this oxidation reaction.
Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose, in a sample. It is more sensitive than Fehling's solution, which is also used to test for reducing sugars but is less commonly used due to its complexity and need for separate solutions (Fehling's A and B) to be mixed in a specific ratio before testing. Benedict's solution is a single solution that is easier to use.
Formalin gives a positive Fehling's solution test.
No, formic acid does not react in the Fehling's test. The Fehling's test is specifically used to test for the presence of reducing sugars. Formic acid is a carboxylic acid and does not possess a reducing sugar functionality.
No. Fehling's test is positive for glucose which forms gluconic acid as the product.
Starch doesnot give positive result for Fehling's test as it does not have a free hemiacetal group

Fehling test is used for reducing sugars.
The Tollens' test is commonly used to show the reducing property of an aldehyde. In this test, an aldehyde will reduce silver ions in Tollens' reagent to form a silver mirror. Ketones do not show this reaction.
yes
Fehling's A and Fehling's B are used together in the Fehling's test to detect the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose. Fehling's A is a copper(II) sulfate solution, while Fehling's B is a complex solution of potassium sodium tartrate and sodium hydroxide. They work together to oxidize the sugar, causing a color change that indicates the presence of a reducing sugar.
yes.
Benedict's test is more sensitive than Fehling's test for detecting reducing sugars in a sample. Benedict's reagent has a lower detection threshold and is known to give more accurate results compared to Fehling's reagent.
