Postlab - Carbo (Qualitative Tests) Flashcards
Test for reducing sugars
Benedict’s Test
Test that is sensitive than Fehling’s Test
Benedict’s Test
Reagents used in Benedict’s Test
CuSO₄
Na₂CO₃
Na₃C₆H₅O₇
Test where:
Cu²⁺ oxidizing agent (OXIDATION)
Benedeict’s test
Barfoed’s Test
Test where principle is:
Cupric ions reduced to cuprous, form Cu₂O precipitate
Benedict’s Test
Barfoed’s Test
Test where Principle is:
Sodium citrate (BASIC) used to keep Cu ions in solution
Benedict’s Test
What color of the precipitate for all reducing sacchardies in benedict’s test
Brick-Red
What test has the “Brick-red” precipitate for all reducing saccharides
Benedict’s Test
Test that refers to:
All monosaccharides are reducing saccharides
Benedict’s test
What test is this?
Glucose ——Blue——> Gluconic Acid
Benedict’s test
WHat test distinguishes reducing monosaccharides & disaccharides
(mono- forms Cu₂O faster than di- in acidic medium)
Barfoed’s test
Reagents used are Cu(CH₃COO)₂, acetic acid. What test is it?
Barfoed’s Test
Test result of Barfoed’s Test in monosaccharide
Brick-red in less than 3 minutes
Test result of Barfoed’s Test in disaccharide
Brick-red for around 10 minutes
(considered as a negative result)
What test uses these reagents
HCl, FeCl₃ and orcinol
Bial’s Orcinol Test
What test involved this principle?
Strong acid to dehydrate monosaccharide
to produce furfural or hydroxymethylfurfural
Bial’s Orcinol Test
