Sugar, or water-soluble crystalline carbohydrate, (molecular compound comprising of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), is a solid crystal in its natural state. When sucrose (most common sugar) is mixed with water (a strong solvent), hydrolysis (or decomposition with water) occurs, allowing ions to be split and other molecules to be attracted to each other. Allowing the water in the solution to evaporate slowly causes crystallization of sucrose.
When heat is added to solid sucrose, apparent melting occurs. Sucrose decomposition occurs at 367 degrees Fahrenheit with some of the molecules combust to water vapor and carbon dioxide.
So, to sum up and concisely answer your question: sucrose changes from solid to liquid (and gas/decomposition) with heat, and transit from solid to liquid by hydrolysis. Sucrose can be crystallized from the hydrolytic compound by slowly allowing the water in the solution to evaporate. To my knowledge, sugar can melt, decompose, and crystallize.

What is the difference between corn sugar and cane sugar?
It doesn't matter.. Your body can't tell the difference.. Sugar is sugar
What state of matter is ammonium?
ammonium is in the state of matter
How are the particles in each state of matter different?
By how dense the state of matter
Why the sugar granules is sample of matter What is the reason?
sugar granules is the sample matter
Is sugar granules ma matter?
Sugar granules are crystals and lie in the category of solids. Yes, they are matter.
Is ligth a matter or not?
Why sugar granules is a matter
What is the matter of sugar?
solid
How do you find the volume of sugar?
You can use displacement of water but you'll have to do it quickly before the sugar dissolves. You can also find a substance that sugar does not dissolve in and use that instead of water. If you change its state of matter, the volume might change.
Fifth state of matter?
1st state of matter- solid 2nd state of matter- liquid 3rd state of matter- gas 4th state of matter- plasma 5th state of matter- Bose Einstein condensate 6th state of matter - fermionic condensate 7th state of matter- thought to be Fermionic condensate
Why sugar is matter?
Sugar is formed from molecules and these molecules contain atoms.

What state of matter is ammonium?
ammonium is in the state of matter
Is sugar granules matter?
Sugar granules are considered matter because the granules are solid and have weight and inertia. Matter can be anything from a solid to liquid to gas to some other phases.
Does the state of matter effect the amount of matter?
No, The state of matter only affects its' concentration. No matter what state matter is in, it will always have the same mass (assuming it doesn't drip or float away). However, the state of matter can affect the area or volume of matter.
