Why the oxidation of formic acid gives red precipitate while the oxidation of acetic acid not?
I think you are referring to the test using Fehlings solution. Fehlings solution oxidises aldehydes and ketones and formic acid and is in turn reduced. The red precipitate is the copper(I) oxide formed by reduction of the copper(II) complex found in Fehlings solution. Acetic acid is not readily oxidised and so there is no precipitate. See link for more information on what the complex is in Fehlings solution and how it is prepared.
Which compound gives positive Fehlings test?
Fehling test is used for reducing sugars.
What is the original colour of fehlings a solution?
Fehling's A solution is blue in color due to the presence of copper sulfate.
What is the original colour of fehlings solution?
Fehling's solution is originally blue in color due to the presence of copper ions.
What is the product obtained by combining fehlings a and fehlings b solution?
When the two Fehling Solutions A and B are mixed, a deep blue solution containing a complex cupric ion is formed. On interaction with reducing compounds such as aldehydes or sugars, the copper is reduced to the univalent stage, and a red, yellow, or yellowish green precipitate is formed.

What chemical formula for Fehlings reagent?
The Fehling A solution contain copper sulfate.The Fehling B solution contain sodium potassium tartrate and sodium hydroxide.
What is the fehlings test of glucose?
ulo nyo!!
Which compound gives positive Fehlings test?
Fehling test is used for reducing sugars.
What is the original colour of fehlings a solution?
Fehling's A solution is blue in color due to the presence of copper sulfate.
What is the original colour of fehlings solution?
Fehling's solution is originally blue in color due to the presence of copper ions.
Is honey a reducing sugar or non reducing?
yes because honey is a monosaccharide All monosaccharides reduce weak oxidizing agents such as Cu2+ in fehlings's reagent.

What happens to aldehyde when it reacts with fehlings solution or tollens solution?
Aldehyde are oxidised to the corresponding carbonic acid by F.'s or T.'s agents. Ketone can not be oxidised.
What is fehlings solution?
Fehling solution "A" is copper sulphate solution and Fehling solution "B" is a solution of sodium potassium tartrate and NaOH.
What is the color of the fehlings solution?
Fehling's solution is typically blue in color due to the presence of copper ions. When Fehling's solution is mixed with reducing sugars, such as glucose, it turns from blue to brick-red or yellow-brown due to the formation of a copper oxide precipitate.
How do you distinguish between acetic acid and formic acid?
One way to distinguish between acetic acid and formic acid is by their smell. Acetic acid smells like vinegar, while formic acid has a pungent, irritating odor. Another way to differentiate them is by their chemical formula - acetic acid is CH3COOH and formic acid is HCOOH. Additionally, acetic acid is a weaker acid compared to formic acid.
