No, it's a pure compound (at least, it can be; sugar you buy at the grocery store might not be absolutely pure). Chemically speaking "sugar" is a class of compounds. There are lots of different sugars: sucrose (this is cane sugar, the grocery store kind), glucose (blood sugar), maltose (malt sugar), galactose and lactose (sugars found in milk), fructose (fruit sugar), and many others (you may have noticed a pattern: the names of sugars tend to end with -ose). Yes Sugar is a mixture

Is table sugar added to a cup of coffee compundhomogeneous mixture-heterogeneous mixture?

A cup of coffee with added table sugar is considered a homogeneous mixture. In this mixture, the sugar dissolves completely in the coffee, resulting in a uniform composition where the individual components (coffee and sugar) are not distinguishable. This consistency throughout the beverage makes it homogeneous rather than heterogeneous.


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.


Is sugar water a mixture?

Yes, Heterogeneous Additional information: The sugar is dissolved in the water. This "mixture" consists of two different types of molecules (thus we call it a mixture): water molecules (H2O) and sugar molecules (one type of sugar is table sugar, C12H22O11)


Is sugar an element or mixture?

Sugar is a compound. It consists of several different elements depending on the type of sugar. A compound is formed by a chemical reaction and cannot be separated. You can't separate sugar into other substances physically.


Is a gram of sugar a solution?

Table sugar is generally provided in solid state, as a fine dust off small crystals. Since a solution is constituted by a liquid solvent where another substance (a solute)) is dissolved, table sugar is not a solution. It becomes part of a solution (the solute) if it is dissolved in water, or in coffee for example.

sugar itself is not a mixture, now dissolved in water is homogeneous, increasing quantity can lead to hetergeneous mixture because of precipitate


Is there a method to separate a mixture of table sugar and water?

Yes, you can separate a mixture of table sugar and water through a process called evaporation. By heating the mixture, the water will evaporate, leaving behind the sugar in its solid form.
