Carbon or other black products of the thermal decomposition of sugar are obtained by heating (the process is called thermal dissociation).

What happening to sugar when heated from chmistry point?

Well i think you must be knowing a term called bleaching of sugar.Sugar crystals when heated up the breaking point of the bonds(which depends what type of sugar we are using),then the water molecules in it get evaporated and we obtain a black mass of carbon.The reaction is C12H22011 -------HEAT----------->12C + 11H20 Sugar Black Water Mass of Carbon

When table sugar is heated to its melting point it bubbles and turns black When it cools it remains a black solid Describe the change as chemical or physical?

The change is chemical because the sugar undergoes a chemical reaction called caramelization when heated, resulting in the formation of new compounds that give it a black color and distinct flavor. This is a permanent change that cannot be reversed by simply cooling the sugar back to its original state.

is heated. Heating water increases its ability to dissolve substances, including sugar, by breaking down the sugar crystals more effectively.


When sugar heated black substance is formed.what is the taste of that black substance?

Ordinary table sugar is a complex hydrocarbon molecule: C12,H22,O11. Notice that it's 11 water molecules and 12 carbon atoms. When Sugar is heated, some of the water is driven off leaving extra carbon atoms laying around. And what color is carbon? Making sugar is a relatively complex process, breaking it down just takes heat.
