A paste of starch was tested using Benedict’s test, the Iodine Test, and Fehling’s Test. Before hydrolysis, Benedict’s test and Fehling's test results were both negative while Iodine’s test is positive. After adding 0.5 mL of conc. HCl to the paste, another 5 drops of NaOH were added and was tested using Fehling’s, Benedict’s Test, and Iodine Tests. What would be the theoretical result of the three different tests? Explain the chemical reaction that happened and the principle/mechanism behind the reactions.
