Australia is also the only continent that is governed as a single country. It is sometimes informally referred to as an 'island' continent, surrounded by oceans. Our ocean territory is also the third-largest in the world, spanning three oceans and covering around 12 million square kilometres.
Benedict's Reagent is used to detect reducing sugars. What the reagent does is to oxidize aldehydes or alpha hydroxyl ketones. When this happens the color of the reagent turns from blue to colorless by the reduction of copper(II) to Copper(I) that is colorless.
Benedict's solution, or reagent, works by oxidizing the sugars to form carboxylic acid and a red-tinted copper oxide. This only works because of the reagent's mix of copper sulfate, sodium citrate and sodium carbonate. The substances are boiled in water.
