The positive result- the resulting blue solution, indicates that the test carbohydrates is a pentose(ribose for example). The blue color is due to the iron content of ferric chloride.


How do you prepare neural ferric chloride solution?

The ferric chloride test is used to determine the presence or absence of phenols in a given sample. Enols give positive results as well. The bromine test is useful to confirm the result, although modern spectroscopic techniques (e.g. NMR and IR spectroscopy) are far superior in determining the identity of the unknown. The quantity of total phenols may be spectroscopically determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau assay.


What test would you use to confirm that you have a solution of FeCl3?

I would do a reverse of the Ferric Chloride test. Take the FeCl3 solution and add a solution containing phenols in it. If red, blue, green, or purple colors form, you've got FeCl3.
