I need a second set of eyes!! Does this makesense?
Once glucose is placed in a baggie we placed indistilled water. We pulled a sample of water from the bottom of thebeaker and added Benedict solution to it which turned it to a lightblue. Adding Benedict solution to glucose tests for presence ofreducing sugars that have the aldehyde functional group. – CHO.Once the Benedict solution turned glucose solution to light blue itwas then heated in boiling distilled water. Positive resultsindicates a color change to orange proving diffusion occured. Thebright red on the bottom of the tube indicates the presence of thealdehyde group. Benedict solution is a deep-blue alkaline solutionbecause it contains copper sulfate. When mixed with glucose andheated, glucose oxidizes and gives up an electron that copperaccepts and then become reduced which turns Benedict’s solution andsugar into an orange color and blue copper ion is reduced to a redcopper ion. Therefore, because glucose can reduce copper in theBenedict Solution, it’s called a reducing sugar. Test was notredone. Our group and the group we compared our results with hadsame results and color.
