Answer:

B, C, D, and E give positive tests.

Explanation:

Fehling's test is a test for reducing sugars, i.e., those that have a hemiacetal or potential aldehyde group (Fig. 1)

If the test is positive, a deep blue solution of complexed copper(II) ion is converted to a brick-fed precipitate of copper(I) oxide.

The equation for the reaction is

\rm\underbrace{\hbox{RCHO}}_{\hbox{aldehyde}} +\underbrace{\hbox{2Cu^{2+}}}_{\hbox{deep blue}} + 5OH^{-} \longrightarrow \, RCOO^{-} +\underbrace{\hbox{Cu_{2}\text{O}}}_{\hbox{brick-red ppt}} + 3H$_{2}$O

Positive Tests

Lactose (Fig. 2) is a disaccharide of galactose and glucose. It is a reducing sugar because it has a hemiacetal unit, indicated by the red arrow.

Maltose (Fig.3) is a disaccharide of glucose. It is a reducing sugar because it has a hemiacetal unit, indicated by the red arrow.

Fructose (Fig. 4) is a ketose, but it tautomerizes in basic media to aldoses glucose and mannose. thus, it gives a positive Fehling's test.

Glucose (Fig. 1) gives a positive test, because it has a potential aldehyde group.

Negative tests

Sucrose (Fig. 5) is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. It is not a reducing sugar, because it lacks a hemiacetal group. It has only acetal groups (blue arrows).

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Sucrose - negative because this is not a reducing sugar.

Lactose, Maltose, Fructose and Glucose - positive as they are reducing sugars..

Reducing sugars have a free aldehyde or ketone group   whereas non-reducing sugars do not.

The Sun is a yellow star that's both average in brightness and temperature and is classified as
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Classifying stars according to their spectrum is a very powerful way to begin to understand how they work.  As we said last time, the spectral sequence O, B, A, F, G, K, M is a temperature sequence, with the hottest stars being of type O (surface temperatures 30,000-40,000 K), and the coolest stars being of type M (surface temperatures around 3,000 K).  Because hot stars are blue, and cool stars are red, the temperature sequence is also a color sequence.  It is sometimes helpful, though, to classify objects according to two different properties.  Let's say we try to classify stars according to their apparent brightness, also.  We could make a plot with color on one axis, and apparent brightness on the other axis, like this:

What are protons explained simply
mylen [45]

Answer:

The protons inside an atom's nucleus help bind the nucleus together. They also attract the negatively charged electrons, and keep them in orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines which chemical element it is.
