It is used for the detection of sugars in urine because sugar contain aldehydic group.
(iii) Mullikan's reagent $10 \% CaCl _{2}$ solution and $Zn$ dust is known as Mullikan's reagent. It is used in the detection of $- NO _{2}$ group.
(iv) Baeyer's reagent $1 \%$ alkaline $KMnO _{4}$ solution is called Baeyer's reagent. It is used for the test of unsaturation.
