Correct answer
2

Step-by-step explanation

Fehling's solution consists of two parts A and B.  Fehling’s solution A  is deep blue colour due to the bis(tartrate) complex of Cu2+. Fehling's solution B is the Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate tetrahydrate) serves as a chelating agent in the solution.

Fehling solution is a complex of Cu++

Cu++=3 d9

Number of unpaired e-=1

Magnetic Moment=11+2=3=1.73BM
