Question

when you mix lactose and benedicts reagent, what is the color change?

Answer 1

Benedict's reagent tests presence of reducing sugars, which includes all monosaccharides and disaccharides. Lactose is disaccharide, so it will give a positive benedict's test.

A positive test shows yellow, green or red precipitate according to the concentration of the sugar present in the solution.
