Study Notes

Quantitative Analysis of Carbohydrates

Aim: Determine the grams of glucose dissolved in a solution using the Fehling method.

Procedure

Step 1: Prepare the Fehling reagent by mixing 2.5ml of Fehling A and 2.5ml of Fehling B with 5 ml of distilled water
Step 2: Heat the solution on a hot plate to 70-80°C
- Note: Do not heat to boiling to prevent water evaporation from the solution
Step 3: Titrate the sugar solution with the Fehling reagent
Step 4: Record the endpoint, which is a reddish-brown precipitate.
Step 5: Repeat the process three times and calculate the average value.

Calculation

5ml of Fehling reagent equals 0.067g of glucose
The endpoint of the titration is equivalent to 0.067g of glucose
100ml of solution containing Xg of glucose
X = (0.067 x 100)/endpoint value (in ml) = g per 100ml of sugar solution
