Question

Barfoed's test for carbohydrates reaction

Answer 1

Barfoed's test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of monosaccharides. It is based on the reduction of copper(II) acetate to copper(I) oxide (Cu2O), which forms a brick-red precipitate. (Disaccharides may also react, but the reaction is much slower.)

Answer 2

It a chemical test used for detecting the Presence of Monosaccharides
Barfoed test is used to detect the Presence of Monosaccharides that is, reducing sugar in solution. Barfoed's reagents, a mixture of ethonoic that is acetic acid and copper 2 acetate,is combined with the test solution and boiled. A red copper oxide precipitate is formed with the indicate the Presence of disaccharides sugar because their the weeker reducing agent...
