I had a practical exam today, which I create solutions of glucose with different concentrations (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%), put Benedict's reagent, and observe the color change. In each test tube, I added 1 mL of the solution and 2 mL of the Benedict reagent, total of 3 mL. And then I heated the test tube in a water bath at 50-60 deg C until I observe a color change. The result is attached, where the top one is 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, and 0% (very bottom). I expected a color change from blue to red (green, yellow, orange) for each glucose solution, however only red precipitate that appears in my test tube. Besides that, my peers' result showed the expected result (the color gradient). What could be the error behind my result? Thank you.
