Fehling’s Solution A & B 🤯 | Easy Chemistry Test for Aldehydes | NEET & JEE Must-Know Short notes

Описание: Hey future doctors 🩺 and engineers 🛠️!

Do you ever wonder why your NCERT talks so much about Fehling’s solution A and B? Don’t worry 😎 — in this video, we’ll break it down into simple, fun, and exam-ready concepts that will make you smile while learning 🥳.

🌟 What is Fehling’s Solution?
Fehling’s test is a classic chemistry test used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones 🧪.

👉 Aldehydes = give positive test ✅

👉 Ketones = mostly negative ❌

This test is super important for organic conversions, aldehyde-ketone chapter, and exam MCQs 🔥.

🌟 Components of Fehling’s Solution
Fehling’s solution is made up of two separate solutions (A and B) that are mixed freshly before use.
Fehling’s Solution A → Copper(II) sulfate solution (blue 💙).
Fehling’s Solution B → Alkaline solution of sodium potassium tartrate (Rochelle salt).
When mixed, they form a deep blue complex. This is the active reagent that reacts with aldehydes.

🌟 The Reaction (Made Easy)
When an aldehyde reacts with Fehling’s solution, it gets oxidized to a carboxylic acid, and the Cu²⁺ ions are reduced to form a red precipitate of Cu₂O (copper(I) oxide) ❤️.

👉 Example:
R–CHO + 2Cu²⁺ + 5OH⁻ → R–COOH + Cu₂O (red ppt) + 3H₂O
That’s why aldehydes give a beautiful brick-red ppt 🎨!

🌟 Why Ketones Fail the Test?
Ketones are usually harder to oxidize, so no red ppt is formed ❌.

👉 This makes Fehling’s test a handy exam trick to differentiate aldehydes from ketones in seconds ⏱️.

🌟 Everyday Analogy 🤩
Think of Fehling’s solution like a detective 🕵️:
It easily catches aldehydes (they confess fast 😅).
But ketones? They are stubborn and stay silent 🙊.

🌟 Exam Relevance 📚
✔ Direct NEET/JEE questions ask which compounds give Fehling’s test.
✔ Often used in organic conversions (like aldehyde → acid).
✔ Linked with Tollen’s test & Benedict’s test (important comparisons).
✔ Frequently asked in Class 12 Chemistry boards too.

🌟 Quick Exam Tricks 📝
Always remember:
Aldehyde = Positive Fehling’s test (red ppt).
Ketone = Negative.
Glucose (aldohexose) gives a positive test 😍.
Sucrose (non-reducing sugar) does NOT give the test.
Compare with Tollen’s test → silver mirror instead of red ppt.

🌟 Why Watch This Video?
✅ NCERT-based explanation 📖
