the benedict itself is not oxidized, it just turn other element's colour due to change during chemical reaction.....
The Benedict solution contains Copper ii ion so has blue colour. when this solution is allow to react with aldehydic compounds specially sugars the copper ii ions reduce to cupric oxide so colour changes blue to red or pink.
no
If distilled water is tested with Benedict's solution, there should be no reaction or color change. Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose, but distilled water should not contain any sugars to react with the solution.
Sucrose will not react with Benedict's solution. This is because sucrose is a non-reducing sugar, meaning it does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group that can be oxidized by Benedict's reagent.
Sucrose
Benedict's solution changes colors (blue to green to yellow to orange to red) in the presence of "reducing" sugars, which are not normally present in saliva. An interesting experiment, however, is testing table sugar with Benedict's solution. Table sugar is a glucose sugar joined to a fructose sugar, so they cannot react with the Benedict's solution and no color change occurs. Put table sugar in your mouth for a few moments, and then test the saliva. Now the Benedict's solution will react! (The reason: saliva has an enzyme, amylase, which breaks the glucose and fructose apart so that they can react to the Benedict's.)
A monosaccharide like glucose would not change when tested with Benedict's solution. This is because Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, which monosaccharides like glucose are capable of reducing due to their open-chain form.
Heating is necessary to transform sugars in enediols which react with Cu(2+).
Benedict's solution reacts with reducing sugars, not proteins. It is commonly used in biochemical tests to detect the presence of reducing sugars such as glucose. Proteins do not typically react with Benedict's solution.
Potato turns muddy green when tested with Benedict's solution due to the presence of reducing sugars like glucose and fructose. The reducing sugars react with the copper ions in the Benedict's solution to form a green-colored precipitate called cuprous oxide.
Yes, Benedict's solution needs heating to test for glucose. Heating helps to facilitate the reaction between glucose and the copper ions in the Benedict's solution, resulting in a color change that indicates the presence of glucose.
Benedict's solution tests for the presence of reducing sugars in a sample. Reducing sugars like glucose, fructose, and maltose can react with Benedict's solution and reduce the copper ions, causing a color change from blue to green, yellow, orange, or red. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the amount of reducing sugar present in the sample.
