Re: Benedict's Solution
The copper ions in solution reduced, forming (I believe) Cu2O which changes the color.
It is boiled in order to facilitate the reaction.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
