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 chemical is used to test for sugars?

Benedict's solution is commonly used to test for the presence of reducing sugars. When a reducing sugar is present, the solution changes color from blue to green, yellow, orange, or red, depending on the amount of sugar present.


How can you tell by using Benedicts solution and iodine to seewhat kind of sugar it is?

The test for a reducing sugar using benedicts solution is by, first making a colour chart, using various KNOWN concentrations of glucose situations, if available. Then use the unknown substance and add benedicts solution and boil, a red precipitate should appear and the "redder" it is, the stronger the concentration. You can then filter off the precipitate and place the remaining liquid into a cuvette and pass through a colorimeter, on a red filter, the more light that passes through, the sronger the concentration. Compare this solution to your colour chart to help you determine the concentration of the reducing sugar. Thanks :) steph :)


What is the difference between iodine solution and Benedict's solution?

Iodine solution is used to test for the presence of starch, turning blue-black in the presence of starch. Benedict's solution is used to test for reducing sugars such as glucose, turning from blue to brick red in the presence of reducing sugars.


What is the purpose of adding NaCl solution to the soap mixture?

Adding NaCl solution to the soap mixture helps to separate the soap from the aqueous solution. This process is called salting out, where the addition of salt reduces the solubility of the soap, causing it to precipitate out of the solution.


Is chlorine a solution or colloid?

Chlorine is a gas at room temperature and pressure, not a solution or colloid. It can be dissolved in water to form a solution known as chlorine water, which is used as a disinfectant.
