    When ethanal is treated with Fehling's solution, it gives a precipitate of

    A)  \[C{{u}_{2}}O\]               

    B)  Cu

    C)  \[C{{u}_{3}}O\]                               

    D)  \[CuO\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Fehling's solution is reduced by aldehydes and a red precipitate of \[C{{u}_{2}}O\]is obtained. \[\underset{\text{ethanal}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (From\,Fehling\, \\  solution) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2CuO}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{H}_{3}}COOH+\underset{red\,ppt.}{\mathop{C{{u}_{2}}O}}\,\downarrow \]
