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 (Cu 2 O), which forms a brick-red precipitate. [1] [2] RCHO + 2Cu 2+ + 2H 2 O → RCOOH + Cu 2 O↓ + 4H + (Disaccharides may also react, but the reaction is much slower.)
an analytical reagent used to detect the presence of soluble proteins Nitric acid: highly corrosive and toxic strong acid; used for the production of fertilizers, production of explosives, and as a component of aqua regia, as well as mixed acid for nitration of aromatic compounds Osmium tetroxide
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
Glucose forms white or colorless solids that are highly soluble in water and acetic acid but poorly soluble in methanol and ethanol. They melt at 146 °C (295 °F) (α) and 150 °C (302 °F) (beta), decompose starting at 188 °C (370 °F) with release of various volatile products, ultimately leaving a residue of carbon. [24]
Glucose syrup on a black surface. Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Glucose is a sugar. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch in the US, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but glucose syrup is also made from potatoes and wheat, and less often from barley, rice and cassava.
Main classes of sugar acids include: Aldonic acids , in which the aldehyde group ( −CH=O ) located at the initial end ( position 1 ) of an aldose is oxidized. Ulosonic acids , in which the hydroxymethyl group ( −CH 2 OH ) at the initial end of a 2- ketose is oxidized creating an α- ketoacid .
2-Naphthyl acetate was prepared from 2-naphthol and glacial (anhydrous) acetic acid in the presence of Ms 2 O. Both alcohols on ethylene glycol successfully benzoylated with benzoic acid and Ms 2 O. However, for free alcohols on monosaccharides, the acetylation was not completed. [2]
