Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Molisch's test: This is a general test for carbohydrates. One or two drops of alcoholic solution of `alpha`-naphthol is added to 2ml glucose solution. 1 ml of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` solution is added carefully along the sides of the test tube. The formation of a violet ring at the junction of the liquids confirms the presence of a carbohydrate or sugar.
