No DNA has been found at the scene. Carry out the necessary forensic tests and present a forensic report. Many common sugars, with the exception of sucrose, act as reducing agents, and are therefore known as reducing sugars. Reducing sugars can reduce copper (II) ions in boiling alkaline solution to copper (I). Before you can perform the test on the body fluid sample, you must make up a 1% glucose solution to act as a control solution. Follow the instructions given by your teacher. Make a note of the method and materials used to make the control soloution. Planning In the analytical test we are going to make up a standard solution 1% glucose 1.98g Relative atomic mass...
