molisch reagent is prepared by dissolving 5g of alpha napthol in 100 ml alcohol
why is sulpheric acid is used in molish test..?
It is a solution of 10 % alfa-naphtol in ethanol.
Molisch's test is used to detect carbohydrates. Egg albumen is free from carbohydrates.
Molisch's Test is a chemical test for the presence of carbohydrates, based on the dehydration of the carbohydrate by sulfuric acid to produce an aldehyde. Its importance is that it tests the presence of carbohydrates based on their dehydration,
because there are such types of lipids that have carbohydrates attached to them(glycolipids). that's why Molisch test is used for lipid detection.
basis of molisch testMolisch's Test is a sensitive chemical test for the presence of carbohydrates, based on the dehydration of the carbohydrate by sulfuric acid to produce an aldehyde, which condenses with two molecules of α-naphthol, though other phenols (e.g. resorcinol, thymol) also give colored products) resulting in a purple-colored compound (indicated by appearance of a purple ring at the interface between the acid and test layers).
Resorcinol is used as the complexing agent to provide the color reaction, although the exact nature of the colored product is not known. Since resorcinol favors electrophilic aromatic substitution, the reaction may be similar to the Molisch Test.
what is the name of result from molisch test
Glycoproteins give positive results for Molisch's test. This answer is true because Molisch test was a test for sugar.
all carbohydrates show positive result to Molisch test. this is because Molisch test is used to distinguish carbohydrates from other organic compound.
Because it is a carbohydrates and molisch test will be positive in the presence of carbohydrates
A positive Molisch's test result indicates the presence of carbohydrates.
Molisch Test and iodine.

i think the general test for carbohydrates is Molisch Test..
