You have two unlabeled bottles, one contains ribitol and one contains arabitol but you do not know which is which. What spectroscopic tool would you use to determine which bottle is which? Explain why you selected your spectroscopic tool, and how it would help you differentiate between the two compounds.

1mL of Benedict's reagent is added to 1mL of the test solution. The mixture is then heated for 5 minutes in water bath. Appearance of reddish-brown precipitates indicates the presence of a reducing sugar. Glucose and Fructose give a positive result. Sucrose on the other hand gives a negative result. Explain why sucrose give a negative result when subjected to a Benedict's test.
There are three (3) vials labeled A, B, and C known to contain the following monosaccharides. All three samples reduce Tollens and Fehling. By oxidation with dilute HNO3 an optically active aldaric acid is obtained for sample A and the remaining two give products without optical activity. When the three samples were subjected to an alkaline medium, it was observed that, after a certain time, samples A and C reached the same value of the specific rotation [α]. Select the RIGHT alternative: (a) Sample A is Galactose. (b) Sample B is Alosa. (c) Samples A and C are not related to each other by an epimerization process. (d) Sample C is Talose. (e) Samples B and C are epimers.
