Fehling’s solution is used in chemistry to detect the presence of reducing sugars. It is composed of two separate solutions that are mixed in equal volumes just before use.
Fehling’s Solution 1
- Composition: This solution contains copper(II) sulfate (CuSO₄).
- Appearance: It is a deep blue solution.
- Preparation: Typically prepared by dissolving copper(II) sulfate in water.
Fehling’s Solution 2
- Composition: This solution contains a mixture of potassium sodium tartrate (Rochelle salt) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
- Appearance: It is a clear, colorless solution.
- Preparation: Potassium sodium tartrate and sodium hydroxide are dissolved in water.

ToggleUses of Fehling Solution 1 and 2
Detection of Reducing Sugars
Fehling’s solutions are commonly used to test for the presence of reducing sugars in various samples, such as:
- Food Products: To identify the presence of sugars like glucose and fructose in foods and beverages.
- Biological Samples: To detect reducing sugars in blood or urine samples, which can be important for diagnosing conditions like diabetes.
- Chemical Research: In organic chemistry labs to analyze carbohydrates and other compounds.
Distinguishing Aldehydes from Ketones
Fehling’s solutions are used to differentiate between aldehydes and ketones:
- Aldehydes: These will react with Fehling’s solution, reducing the copper(II) ions to copper(I) oxide, resulting in a red precipitate.
- Ketones: These generally do not react with Fehling’s solution, so no color change occurs.
Educational Demonstrations
- Teaching Tool: Fehling’s solutions are often used in educational settings to demonstrate redox reactions and the properties of reducing sugars.
Quality Control in Manufacturing
- Food and Beverage Industry: Used to monitor sugar content in products.
- Pharmaceuticals: To ensure the purity and composition of certain medicinal preparations.
Analytical Chemistry
- Qualitative Analysis: Used in analytical chemistry for qualitative tests to identify the presence of specific functional groups or compounds.

Acetic Acid 2.5litre
Acetic acid is an organic acid with the chemical formula CH3COOH, also known as ethanoic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent, sour taste and a distinctive vinegar-like odor. Acetic acid is an important industrial chemical used in the production of various products, including solvents, plastics, textiles, and food additives. It is also the main component of vinegar, which is commonly used as a condiment and preservative in cooking and food preparation.
Aluminum Ammonium Sulphate
Aluminum ammonium sulfate, also known as ammonium alum or just alum, is a chemical compound with the formula (NH4)Al(SO4)2·12H2O. It's a white crystalline solid commonly used in water purification, leather tanning, and as a mordant in dyeing textiles.
In water purification, alum acts as a coagulant to remove impurities by causing suspended particles to clump together, making it easier for filtration to remove them. In leather tanning, it helps to stabilize the leather by tightening the collagen fibers. And in dyeing textiles, alum helps the dye adhere to the fabric.
However, it's important to note that excessive exposure to aluminum compounds like alum can be harmful, so it's typically used with caution and proper safety measures.
Aluminum Carbonate 250g
Aluminum carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(CO3)3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water. Aluminum carbonate is not commonly encountered in pure form due to its high instability, especially in the presence of water and carbon dioxide. Instead, it tends to decompose into aluminum hydroxide and carbon dioxide when exposed to moisture or acidic conditions.
Aluminum Sulphate 500gm
Aluminum sulfate, also known as alum, is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. It's commonly used in water treatment plants as a coagulant to clarify turbid or muddy water by causing suspended particles to clump together and settle out. In addition to water treatment, aluminum sulfate has various other industrial applications, such as in paper manufacturing, dyeing, and as a mordant in textile dyeing to help fix dyes to fabrics.
