If you actually burn it, you don't get any element. Water is driven off and the remainder oxidizes into carbon dioxide. You're probably asking about charring it, which is slightly different. In charring, the sugar never actually catches on fire, it just turns brown and then black. In this case, the element produced is carbon.

When sugar melts (then burns), the the hydrogen and the oxygen are relaesed and bond forming H20 in the form of water vapour.
The resulting pile where the sugar was is therefore Carbon

How could you make sugar dissolve faster in water?
Heat the water.
What are 3 things you can do to get sugar to dissolve quickly in a liquid solution?
Stir/agitate the water. Heat the water. Make the sugar crystals smaller/expand surface area of sugar.
Does sugar cool tea quicker?
sugar added to tea reduces the original specific heat capacity of water ,thus water is cooled faster.
Apply the kinetic theory to describe the motion of particles in a homogeneous mixture of sugar and water as it is boiled?
The kinetic theory states that as you heat up something, the molecules of it start to move faster. This means that the molecules will be spread further apart. As you heat up sugar water, the water will turn into water vapor and leave the sugar behind.
What is the effect of moist heat on sugar?
What effect of moist heat sugar
How do we separate sugar from water?
Evaporate the water with gentle heat to leave sugar crystals behind. Too high a heat will melt the sugar into a lump.
What will be happen when you heat the salt and sugar with dissolve by water?
water will evaporate and salt and sugar will remain back
Which tool could be used to separate sugar from water?
Heat. The water will evaporate and leave the sugar behind.
What happens when you increase the heat of water when sugar is added?
The sugar solubility is increased.
What is one way to increases the solubility of sugar in water?
Heat the water Reduce the amount of sugar Increase the amount of water
How could you make sugar dissolve faster in water?
Heat the water.
How can you improve the solubility of a sugar cube in water?
Heat up the water.
How can you make sugar dissolve into water faster?
Heat it
Why cant you heat sugar and water to separate it?
You can, but do it gently.
How can sugar be dissolved in water quicker?
you can heat it up, the water, or grind the sugar into smaller particles! try both! =)
What is the one way to increase the solubility of sugar?
Heat the water Reduce the amount of sugar Increase the amount of water
Why does cold water dissolve sugar much slower than hot water?
Hot water because the heat helps to dissolve the sugar.
