Laboratory work #2: «Chemical Properties of Glucose as an Aldehyde Alcohol. Qualitative Test for Starch»
Description: In this lab work, students investigate the chemical properties and reactions of various carbohydrates: glucose, starch, and sucrose. Qualitative reactions will be performed to identify their reducing properties and their ability to undergo hydrolysis. Long-Term Plan Section Standard Curriculum Subsections: Learning Objectives: Chemistry of Living Systems Structure, Properties, and Uses of Carbohydrates 11.5.1.11 – perform a qualitative test for starch11.5.1.12 – name the hydrolysis products of sucrose, starch, and cellulose11.5.1.13 – compare the structure and properties of starch and cellulose
