Does sucrose give a positive reaction for seliwanoff's test?

Yes. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. Fructose is a ketose and therefore gives a positive result.

The presence of a strong acid (HCl) in the reagent causes hydrolysis (splitting apart) of sucrose which yields free fructose for the reaction to take place.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
