Benedict's solution is a chemical reagent used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose. When heated with a reducing sugar, such as glucose, in the presence of an alkali (sodium carbonate), a redox reaction occurs, causing the blue color of the Benedict's solution to change to a brick-red precipitate of copper oxide. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the amount of reducing sugar present in the solution.

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.
