Best Answer

There are several properties that distinguish sucrose from sodium chloride. One is that sucrose melts at around 186ºC whereas sodium chloride melts at around 800ºC. Another property would be that sucrose is a non electrolyte (will not conduct a current when in solution) whereas sodium chloride is an electrolyte and it will conduct a current when in solution.

Chemical properties have to do with how a substance behaves or reacts chemically - basically what it has the ability to do. When looking at sucrose, grainy and white would refer to physical properties. Chemical properties could include reactivity with acids, burning when exposed to heat (think caramel) and breaking down through hydrolysis to form fructose and glucose.

The common name for sucrose is table sugar. It is a mixture of fructose and glucose. The chemical formula for this is C12H22O11. Pure sucrose is often prepared as a fine, white, odourless crystalline powder with a pleasing sweet taste

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.
