Glucose reduces Fehling's solution, whereas in the presence of mild oxidizing agents such as Br 2, H 2 O, it gets reduced to gluconic acid. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/60525d9114e316a6794c6e561cd3dfdb-.png" />

Q. STATEMENT-1: Glucose gives a reddish-brown precipitate with Fehling's solution
because
STATEMENT-2: Reaction of glucose with Fehling's solution gives $C u O$ and gluconic acid.

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

Statement-1 is True; Statement-2; is True Statement-2 is Not a correct explanation for Statement-1

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

Glucose reduces Fehling's solution, whereas in the presence of mild oxidizing agents such as $B r_{2}, H_{2} O$ , it gets reduced to gluconic acid.

Q. STATEMENT-1: Glucose gives a reddish-brown precipitate with Fehling's solution because STATEMENT-2: Reaction of glucose with Fehling's solution gives CuO and gluconic acid.
