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 :)

What else can I help you with?
What color does sugar turn when you add iodine to it?
Well, isn't that just a happy little accident! When you add iodine to sugar, it turns a dark purple or black color. It's like a beautiful, unexpected transformation right before your eyes. Just remember, every color has its place in the palette of life.
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.
When a certain sugar is tested with an iodine solution can you tell what type it is?
Yes, when a sugar is tested with an iodine solution, it can help determine the type of sugar present. Starch will typically turn blue-black in the presence of iodine, indicating its presence in the sample being tested. Other sugars like glucose or fructose will not react with iodine in the same way.
What does lugol's iodine?
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
Does sugar turn blue when mixed with iodine?
Yes, sugar does not turn blue when mixed with iodine. Iodine reacts with starch, turning it into a blue-black color. Sugar does not contain starch, so it will not have a reaction with iodine in this way.
What is the indicator for carbohydrates?
Simple(sugar): benedicts solution. Turns bright orange. Complex(starch): iodine turns dark purple/black
What is the test for sugar using Benedicts solution?

Is mixing sugar with iodine solution a chemical change or a physical change?
Mixing sugar with iodine solution is a physical change because no new substances are formed. The sugar and iodine solution retain their individual chemical properties even when mixed together.
Why does a sugar solution turn brown when Iodine is added?
Because Iodine is a brown element.
Iodine solution can be used to test for sugar?
Iodine solution is commonly used as a reagent to test for the presence of starch, not sugar. When iodine solution is added to a sample containing starch, it will turn blue-black if starch is present. Testing for sugar is typically done using reagents such as Benedict's solution or Fehling's solution.
What color does sugar turn when you add iodine to it?
Well, isn't that just a happy little accident! When you add iodine to sugar, it turns a dark purple or black color. It's like a beautiful, unexpected transformation right before your eyes. Just remember, every color has its place in the palette of life.
What is the stain solution when chemical is test for sugar?
It is normally benedicts solution. Add about 1/4 of the total sugar solution to a test tube and heat it in a hot water bath at around 50 degrees C for 5 min. For example, heat 40mL of sugar water (C12H22O11 aq ) with 10mL of Benedicts soluton (copper and sodium salts). If it is a positive test it will turn yellow.

What compound can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent?
A reducing sugar such as glucose can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent to form a colored precipitate. This reaction is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars in a solution.
What does lugol's iodine?
it is iodine and potassium iodide solution It's a orange colored solution that consists of Iodine and Potassium Iodide and is used to test a substance for starch. If the color of the solution turns black when put on/in the substance, then the substance is positive for starch.
What colour does Benedicts solution go with milk any kind of?
Benedict's solution is a deep blue color. When mixed with milk or any kind of reducing sugar, the solution will change color to yellow, orange, red, or brown depending on the amount of reducing sugar present in the milk.
