What substrate gives a positive reaction for benedicts reagent?
Reduction of Benedict's reagent occurs with reducing sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose, giving a positive test result. This test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars in various food products.
What is the difference between Benedict's Reagent and Biuret Reagent?
Benedicts reagent is used to check reducing sugars , it need hat to work and gives red color when positive ,. While biuret reagent is for proteins .there is no need to use heat and gives purple , violet color when positive ..
When does a spray of diphenylamine reagent on TLC gives blue coloration?
Diphenylamine is a reagent for DNA.
What Upon hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose?
Sucrose
Is Pararosaniline is schiff's reagent?
No, its reaction with SO2(aq) gives schiff's reagent.
Why fructose gives positive tollen reagent test?
Only aldehydes give a positive Tollens test. However, under the strongly basic conditions of the test, alpha-hydroxy ketones can isomerize to aldehydes, so they will also give a positive Tollens test. Fructose is an alpha-hydroxy ketone.
What substances give a positive tollens test?
When adding the aldehyde or ketone to Tollens' reagent, the test tube is put in a warm water bath. If the reactant under test is an aldehyde, Tollens' test results in a silver mirror. If the reactant is a ketone, it will not react because a ketone cannot be oxidized easily. A ketone has no available hydrogen atom on the carbonyl carbon that can be oxidized - unlike an aldehyde, which has this hydrogen atom.
Why does sucrose solution give a negative test with tollen's test?
A positive Tollen's test is given by compounds that have a free aldehyde or ketone functional group. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. In sucrose, the components glucose and fructose are linked via an ether bond between C1 (carbon with aldehyde group) on the glucosyl subunit and C2 (carbon with ketone group) on the fructosyl unit. The bond is called a glycosidic linkage. In other words, in sucrose there is no free aldehyde or ketone functional group. Hence sucrose will not answer Tollen's test.
What reaction occurs when benzil gives tollens test?
Benzil does not react with Tollens reagent because it does not contain aldehyde or ketone functional groups. Tollens reagent is a silver mirror test used for the detection of aldehydes in a sample by the reduction of silver ions to metallic silver. Benzil, being a diketone, does not undergo this reaction.

Why sucrose does not give a positive Benedict's test but hydrolyzed sucrose does give a positive beneditcts test?
Sucrose is formed from glucose and fructose.Sucrose is formed from glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose gives positive test for benedict becuz both of them are reducing sugars whereas sucrose is not a reducing sugar so it gives negative test for benedict. On prolonged heating,sucrose will form glucose and fructose (reducing sugars)which ultimately gives a positive result .

Can Seliwanoff's test be used to distinguish sucrose from fructose?
Yes, fructose is a ketose, for which Seliwanoff's test is most sensitive. Sucrose is neither entirely a ketose nor an aldose, but is a mixture of both. It will react, but more slowly, producing a much lighter pinkish color.
Why does fructose give a positive Benedicts test?
Benedict's test detects the presense of the aldehyde group. Fructose is a ketose rather than an aldose, but it's converted to glucose or mannose (both of which are aldoses) by the base in Benedict's reagent. All monosaccharides give a positive Benedict's test because they're all either aldoses or alpha-hydroxy ketoses that get transformed into aldoses. Sucrose does not, because while it contains fructose and glucose, both of which do test postive, the saccharides in sucrose are "locked" into hemiacetal form and cannot undergo ring opening to expose an aldehyde group. (It's a very weak lock; dilute acid ... like, say, lemon juice ... will hydrolyse the saccharide linkage and allow the hemiacetal rings to open.)
Which sugar gives a negative reaction to Benedict reagent?
Sucrose gives a negative reaction to the Benedict's reagent test because it is a non-reducing sugar. Benedict's reagent is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, which have the ability to reduce the copper ions in the reagent. Since sucrose does not have this ability, it does not give a positive reaction.
When does a spray of diphenylamine reagent on TLC gives blue coloration?
Diphenylamine is a reagent for DNA.
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
