Water is a weak nucleophile (the molecule which donates electrons in a chemical reaction). Being that water is a poor electron donor, it cannot react in a condensation reaction with sugar. In addition, if water were to attack sugar, it would have to attack at a carbon containing a hydroxyl group which would then condense to remove water and you would simply arrive at the same molecule you had before.
What else can I help you with?
Is sugar an ion?
No No, sugar is not an ion. In fact, it doesnt even dissociate in water. It is a compound.
Is sugar dissolving in water a chemical reaction?
No, it is a physical change. A chemical reaction involves changing a molecule(s) into something else. When dissolving sugar in water, you still have sugar and you still have water.
What freezes faster water or sugared water?
water does because it doesnt have any minerals as sugar water does
Why is sugar in water a mixture?
Any reaction occur.
What is the chemical reaction of maple syrup crystals forming?
There is no chemical reaction. In maple syrup the sugar is dissolved in water. When the water evaporates the sugar comes out of solution and forms crystals.
Sugar crystals are separated from a sugar syrup by evaporation of water is a chemical reaction or physical reaction?
The separation of sugar crystals from a sugar syrup by evaporating water is a physical process, not a chemical reaction. This is because no new substances are formed during the process—the sugar molecules remain the same whether in the syrup or as crystals.
In which situation is a physical reaction occurring?
sugar dissolves in water.
Is dissolving of sugar in water a chemical or phyical reaction?
Dissolution is usually considered a physical reaction, although weak chemical bonds between the solute and solvent may exist in the solution.
Does sugar cubes float in water?
no it doesnt because it has lots of mass which makes in sink.
What is the chemical reaction called when sugar become water and carbon?
combustion
Is dissolve a spoonful of sugar in water a chemical reaction?
I love chocolate :)
When adding sugar to water and oil why does the reaction cause bubbles?
Because while the water is hot with the oil, chemicals that are in the sugar causes it to bubble.
