Useful Applications
Barfoed' s reagent is a blue-green liquid that's a 0.33 molar solution of copper (II) acetate in 1% acetic acid. It has a vapor pressure of 14 mm Hg and a specific gravity of 1.1. Barfoed's reagent doesn't keep well, so it's best to make it up when you need it. To prepare it, you can dissolve 70 g of copper acetate monohydrate and 9 mL of glacial acetic acid in water to make one liter.
