A 50.0 mL juice extract is colorimetrically assayed using Nelson’s test. One  milliliter (1.00 mL) of the solution and the standard glucose solution (concentration:  1mg/mL) were treated with freshly prepared Nelson’s reagent and arsenomolybdate  reagent and then diluted to 10.0 mL separately in properly labeled test tubes.  Absorbance at 480 nm for the standard is 1.702 and for the sample, 0.926. A. What is the principle behind the assay? B. Calculate the concentration of the reducing sugar in the 50.0 mL sample in  mg/mL. Apply Beer-Lambert’s law: A=bc
