Answer:
The compound to be tested is added to the Fehling's solution and the mixture is heated. Aldehydes are oxidized, giving a positive result, but ketones do not react, unless they are α-hydroxy ketones. ... Formic acid (HCO2H) also gives a positive Fehling's test result, as it does with Tollens' test and Benedict's test also.
