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.
They cause the Cu 2+ in the Benedictâs reagent to become reduced (gain electrons) to form Cu 1+ , forming Cu 2 O. The reaction occurs when the mixture is heated to 100 Â°C. Continue Carbohydrates continued Testing for reducing sugarsThe test tube rack contains substances that were tested in lab.
