    When testing for reducing sugar it says dissolve some glucose in water and add an equal volume of benedict's solution. Equal to what? The glucose or the water. Has anybody seen this glucose? What's it like?

    Equal to the entire soloutin i think.... It doesnt really matter unless you want to do the experiment yourself. In the write ups in the exam you can just use that wording and get away with it

    It doesn't really matter as long as you don't add too much or too little. A small splash will do. You're only trying to find the presence of a reducing sugar.

    Equal to the water. I think maybe... colourless locuzade would do it :). Just go get some colourless lucozade.

    hahahahaha, it's hardly a technical experiment, it's a colour change. I'd just not do it. The book is right most of the time I found.
