Vedclass · Answer

(C) The presence of glucose (sugar) in urine is detected using Benedict's test. Benedict's reagent contains $Cu^{2+}$ ions which are reduced to $Cu^+$ ions in the presence of a reducing sugar like glucose,forming a red precipitate of cuprous oxide $(Cu_2O)$. The reaction is: $	ext{Glucose} + 	ext{Benedict's solution} 	o 	ext{Red colour } (Cu_2O)$.
