Answer» Fehling's solution Tollen's reagent Benedict's solution Baeyer's reagent Solution :Benedict solution contains `CuSO_(4),Na_(2)CO_(3)` and sodium citrate. This permits FORMATION of a complex , which lowers the concentration of Cu (II) ions to such asn extent that it does not permit the precipitation of insoluble `Cu(OH)_(2)`. Benedict solution is more stable than Fehling's solution and is not AFFECTED by substance like creatine and uric acid present in urine. hence it is preferred to detect glucose in urine.
