Benzaldehyde is the simplest aromatic aldehyde. The oxidizing agent used in Fehling's solution is not strong enough to oxidize the aromatic ring. Therefore Benzaldehyde doesn't show Fehling's test. I hope it helped :)

Why dont polysaccharides give a positive test with Fehling's solution?
Fehling test is only suitable for reducing sugars, that means, monosaccharides in its open form with an aldehyd available. Polysacchardes have the aldehydes in a acetal form and they can not react
What is the function of Fehling's test?
Fehling's test is used to differentiate between aldehyde and ketones group. An aldehyde group will react with Fehling's reagent to give cuprous oxide resulting in a red precipitate. A Ketone group will not react with Fehling's reagent.
How is benzaldehyde different from formaldehyde?
Benzaldehyde has a benzene ring where formaldehyde has a hydrogen atom. (C6H5CHO as opposed to HCHO). Formaldehyde is used as a biocide and a disinfectant. It is a nasty substance and may be a carcinogen. Benzaldehyde on the other hand is used as a food additive to give an almond flavour.
Which substance will give a red precipitate when heated with Fehling solution?
Cu2O gives red ppt when heated with fehlings soln
Does suger give you energy?
no it doesnt it is scientificle proofd its not
Does formalin give positive Fehling's solution test?
Formalin gives a positive Fehling's solution test.

Why starch does not give with fehling test?
Starch doesnot give positive result for Fehling's test as it does not have a free hemiacetal group

Which aldehyde do not give fhelings test?
All aldehydes give a positive result with Fehling's test. All ketones give negative results.
Why fehling reaction give negative result with starch?
Due to absence of free hemiacetal group
Why para-formaldehyde doesn't give positive fehling's test?
Because it is a polymer of formaldehyde with no free aldehydic group.
Principle of ehrlich's test?
Indole ring of tryptophan reacts with para methyl amino benzaldehyde under acidic condition to give a purple colour complex.
Which substance will give a red precipitate when heated with Fehling solution?
Cu2O gives red ppt when heated with fehlings soln
