1. You are given the following carbohydrates: glucose, maltose, sucrose, and starch. Explain the results described below. (a) A carbohydrate solution gave a negative Benedict's, Barfoed's, Bial's, and a positive Seliwanoff's tests. When treated with hydrochloric acid and boiled for several minutes, the solution showed positive Benedict's, Barfoed's, and Seliwanoff's tests and a negative Bial's test. What carbohydrate was in the original solution? (b) A solution containing only one carbohydrate gave a Cu2O precipitate with Benedict's reagent. Which possible carbohydrates are present in the solution? (c) Another sample of the solution from (b) failed to give a Cu2O precipitate with Barfoed's reagent within 5 min. Which carbohydrate is present in the solution?

Question
1. You are given the following carbohydrates: glucose, maltose,
sucrose, and starch. Explain the results described below.
(a) A carbohydrate solution gave a negative Benedict's, Barfoed's,
Bial's, and a positive Seliwanoff's tests. When treated with
hydrochloric acid and boiled for several minutes, the solution showed
positive Benedict's, Barfoed's, and Seliwanoff's tests and a negative
Bial's test. What carbohydrate was in the original solution?
(b) A solution containing only one carbohydrate gave a Cu2O
precipitate with Benedict's reagent. Which possible carbohydrates are
present in the solution?
(c) Another sample of the solution from (b) failed to give a Cu20
precipitate with Barfoed's reagent within 5 min. Which carbohydrate
is present in the solution?
