Glucose and fructose can be disntiguished by

A

Tollen's reagent

B

Benedict solution

C

Bromine water

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Bromine, a mild oxidising agent, oxidises only glucose `(` aldoses, in general`)` to gluconic acid. Tollen's reagent and Fehling solution, being alkaline in nature, cause isomerization of fructose to glucose hence both of then react with these reagents.
