Statement I: Glucose gives a reddish-brown precipitate with fehling's solution.
Statement I: Reaction of glucose with fehling's solution gives `CuO` and gluconic acid.

Options

A. Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is true, Statements `II` is the correct explanation of Statement `I`.
B. Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is true, Statement `II` is not the correct explanation of Statement `I`.
C. Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is false.
D. Statement `I` is false, Statement `II` is true.

Answer

C

Explanation

Statement `I` is true but statement `II` is false because `Cu^(2+)` of Fehling's solution, `[Cu (NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)(OH)_(2)`, is reduced to `Cu^(+)` to give a red precpitate of `Cu_(2)O`.
`OCH(CHOH)_(4)CH_(2)OH+Cu^(2+)+overset(Θ)OH rarr .^(Θ)OOC-(CHOH)_(4)CH_(2)OH" gluconic acid" +Cu_(2)O+H_(2)O`
