Prediction I predict that all three of the juices will contain reducing sugars that will reduce the copper ions in the benedict's solution. The reason for my prediction is that all three of the juices originate from a fruit and will therefore contain the sugar fructose. Fructose is a monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are single sugar unit's, they have the general formula, (CH2O)n, because they have...
