sucrose is a unique chemical compound containing a glucose and fructose unit (both of which exhibit chirality) connected by an alpha/beta linkage. in nature all sugar units are comprised of dextrorotary molecules. As far as synthetic manufacture is concerned there are 4 potential anaolgues of sucrose consisting of :d-d glucose/fructose, L-D glucose/fructose, D-L glucose/fructose, and L-L glucose/fructose

Is white sugar heterogeneous?
No, it is a chemically homogeneous substance.
Is white sugar a mixture or a substance?
Table sugar is a pure substance. It is made up of one type of molecule that cannot be separated into two or more components. Mixtures can be separated. For example, a mixture of water and sand can be separated into two components. Other examples of pure substances are diamonds, and table salt.
What is the difference between a compound such a sucrose and a homogeneous mixture such as Gatorade?
Sucrose is a single compound; Gatorade contain a mixture of compounds.
What is H8C6O7 as a substance?
sucrose
Is sugar a heterogeneous or a homogeneous mixture?
sugar (generally glucose) is a pure organic compound, not mixture.
Is sucrose a pure substance or a mixture?
Sucrose is an example of a pure substance. It is a disaccharide that can be broken down into glucose and fructose.
What kind of substance is sucrose- compound or mixture?
compound or mixture
Is sugar a heterogeneous mixture or is it a homogeneous mixture?
Sugar is a compound, a pure substance, as it only contains sucrose.
Is table sugar a hetero or homo?
Table sugar (sucrose) is a chemical compound not a mixture.
Is a sugar mixture or pure substance?
A sugar is a pure substance. Sugar is the generic name for many compounds which are all pure substances. Fructose is a sugar. Glucose is a sugar. Lactose is a sugar. Glucose + Fructose --> Sucrose This is a chemical reaction between 2 sugars to make another, more complex sugar. This reaction if I remember correctly eliminates a water molecule as well as producing sucrose. The reaction occurs in certain plants and is done by an enzyme. Mixing fructose and glucose in a bowl will NOT form sucrose. Refer to the wikipedia article on sugar. It shows the molecular structure of sucrose. A substance cannot have a molecular structure if it is a mixture. It is a compound and compounds are pure substances.

Is table sugar an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sugar is a name for a class of carbohydrate of which there are many; frusctose, maltose, glucose etc. Common table sugar is a dissaccharide (compound) of two sugars, glucose and fructose and is chemically called sucrose.
Is sugar a heterogeneous or a homogeneous mixture?
