Depends on the Sugar:
Reducing sugars a normally monosaccharides but there are some disaccharides too like maltose.
If its a reducing sugar then you would add Benedicts Reagent (alkaline copper(II) sulphate). You then heat it. if a reducing sugar is present then a precipitate is formed that will be red/orange.
A Non-reducing sugar like Sucrose can be tested by first adding benedicts and heating. if no change is present you then add hydrochloric acid to hydrolyse the glycosidic bond. you then add a hydrogen carbonate solution to neutralise the acid. Then repeating the Benedicts and Heating process.

What is the difference between iodine solution and Benedict's solution?
Benedict's solution is used to test for simple sugars and iodine is used to test for starches.
Does iodine test for sugars?
it tests for starch
What is Benedict's solution used for?
Benedict's solution is most commonly used for testing if sugars are present in any enzyme, or solution, that contains starch. ex. Water + Starch Then test for sugars with benedict's.
What is the name of chemical test for oxygen?
The glowing splint test.
What happens if you mix water and sugar?
There is no chemical reaction. Most sugars are soluble in water, so the sugar will probably dissolve; dissolved sugars tend to form hemiacetals or hemiketals if they're not already in that configuration.
what is fehling test?
It is a chemical reagent used to differentiate water-soluble carbohydrates and ketone functioning groups. Its also a test for reducing and non-reducing sugars.
What test is used to test for sugars in a food?
Benedict's test using Benedict's Solution.
Which compound gives positive Fehlings test?
Fehling test is used for reducing sugars.
What is the reagent used to test for complex sugars?
benidict's solution
What is a chemical test?
The chemical stress test is used to evaluate the heart.
Which sugar gives a negative reaction to Benedict reagent?
Benedict's reagent is a type of chemical that is used to test if reducing sugars are present or not. The chem'ical is named after Stanley Rossiter Benedict.
What is a chemical stress test?
The chemical stress test is used to evaluate the heart.
How do you test a biscuits that it contain sugars?
The Benedict tat is a test for sugars.
What is done in a Benedict test?
The Benedict test is a chemical test used to identify the presence of simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and lactose. It is a qualitative test that is used to differentiate between monosaccharides and disaccharides. To perform a Benedict test, a sample is mixed with Benedict's reagent, which is a solution of sodium citrate and copper sulfate. The mixture is then heated and the formation of a red-brown precipitate indicates the presence of one of the three simple sugars. The following list describes the specific tests used to identify each of the sugars: Glucose Appearance of a brick-red precipitate Fructose Appearance of an orange-red precipitate Lactose Appearance of a yellow-brown precipitateThe Benedict test is a simple, inexpensive, and reliable way to identify the presence of simple sugars in a sample.
What chemical can be used to test for clucose?
Benedict's solution can be used to test for glucose.
What group of carbohydrates react positively in Seliwanoff's test?
Sugars, the test distinguishes between aldose and ketose sugars; the test shows positive for ketose sugars.
What is the difference between iodine solution and Benedict's solution?
Benedict's solution is used to test for simple sugars and iodine is used to test for starches.
