The sugar is actually "dehydrated" by the acid. The result is a yucky carbon residue that is "fluffy." This means that it will expand significantly. The reason that it is so yucky is that it is wet with the (still very strong) acid.

What is the balanced chemical equation of calcium carbonate when it reacts with sulfuric acid?

Please be careful, do NOT use concentrated sulfuric acid. It gets far too hot, with expanding gases (CO2). (H2SO4)aq + (CaCO3)s --> (CaSO4)s + [H2CO3] --> (CO2)g + H2O


Are metals acids or bases?

With the exception of boron which is unreactive , yes and each member of the group behaves differently. Silicon reacts to hot base and is almost unreactive to acid. Germanium and arsenic reacts to hot concentrated sulfuric and nitric but not to sodium hydroxide. Antimony reacts to nitric and sulfuric acid but not to base. Tellurium reacts to acids and bases.
