You are given the following carbohydrates: glucose, maltose, sucrose, and starch. Explain the results described below. a. A carbohydrate solution gave a negative result in the Benedict's and Barfoed's tests. When treated with hydrochloric acid and boiled for several minutes, the solution showed a positive result. Explain. b. A solution containing only one carbohydrate gave a Cu2O precipitate with Benedict's reagent. Which possible carbohydrates are present in the solution? c. Another sample of the solution from (b) failed to give a Cu2O precipitate with Barfoed's reagent within 5 min. Which carbohydrate is present in the solution?[
