NEET 2024 · ChemistryPrevious Year Question

Fehling's solution 'A' is

Answer: (D) aqueous . \textbf{Answer:} (D) Fehling's solution 'A' is aqueous copper(II) sulphate.

  1. A.alkaline
  2. B.alkaline solution of sodium potassium tartrate (Rochelle's salt)
  3. C.aqueous sodium citrate
  4. D.aqueous

Correct Answer

(D) aqueous

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (D) Fehling's solution 'A' is aqueous copper(II) sulphate. \textbf{Solution:} Fehling's reagent is prepared just before use by mixing two solutions: solution 'A' is aqueous copper(II) sulphate , and solution 'B' is an alkaline solution of sodium potassium tartrate (Rochelle's salt). On mixing, a deep-blue cupric tartrate complex forms. Reducing sugars such as glucose reduce to red cuprous oxide . Hence option D is correct.
