Second eyes for a final draft please-
A small baggie of glucose solution is placed in asmall beaker of distilled water. We pulled a sample of water(colorless) from the bottom of the beaker and add Benedict solution(light blue) to it which turned it to a light blue color. AddingBenedict solution to glucose tests for presence of reducing sugarsthat have the aldehyde functional group – CHO (or, free ketonegroup I.e. alpha-hydroxy ketone, too). When the Benedict solutionwas added, the glucose solution immediately takes the color ofBenedict's reagent and turns it to light blue. When the mixture washeated in boiling distilled water, aldehyde group gets oxidized byaccepting an O-atom from OH- and gives up and electron that copperion (Cu2+) accepts and then become reduced which turns Benedict'ssolution and sugar into an orange color indicating a positiveresult due to the color change proving diffusion occurred. Test wasnot redone. Our group and the group we compared our results withhad same results and color. Â
