What test would you need to perform to prove that it is the combination of glucose and the glucose indicator solution that changes color when heated and not just the glucose or the glucose indicator?
That's actually not that difficult. If one wishes to answer this question in depth, feel free, but all one must do is test them separately. Just put glucose and your indicator (most-likley benedict's solution) in separate beakers, and then heat them both. Nothing will happen to either of them.
