Benedict's Solution is a chemical reagent used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose and maltose. The solution changes color in the presence of these sugars. If you have a 20 ml bottle with droppers, it's likely a convenient way to dispense small amounts of the solution for qualitative tests.
To perform a test, you would typically add a small amount of the sample (containing the reducing sugar) to the Benedict's Solution and then heat the mixture. The color change indicates the presence and concentration of reducing sugars.
If you have a specific question about using Benedict's Solution or need guidance on a related experiment, feel free to ask!
