Benedict's Solution is a chemical reagent used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose. It contains copper(II) sulfate, sodium citrate, and sodium carbonate. When heated with a reducing sugar, the solution changes color, indicating the presence of these sugars. The color can range from blue to green, yellow, orange, or red, depending on the concentration of the sugar. This test is commonly used in laboratories and educational settings to demonstrate carbohydrate presence. The reaction occurs because reducing sugars can reduce copper(II) ions to copper(I) oxide, which precipitates out of the solution, leading to the color change.
