Each compound reacted with one reactant; the glucose reacted with the Benedict’s solution, the Starch reacted with the Iodine, and the Protein reacted with the Biuret’s solution. In each test the compounds and the water all changed when mixed with the reactants and took on a lighter shade of the reactant’s color. The reaction that stood out the most was between the glucose and the Benedict’s solution. The glucose and Benedict’s solution took much longer while the other reactions seemed to be nearly the instant. The change in color was extremely different as well, while the other reactions seemed to be similar to the color of the reactant, the reaction between the glucose and the Benedict’s was almost the opposite from reactant’s original color.
