Best Answer

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with Sucrose (C12H22O11). The acid acts as a dehydrating agent, releasing hydrogen and oxygen as water vapour. What remains in this exothermic (heat producing) reaction is Carbon in the form of C12. The carbon produced usually forms a large black column that rises from the beaker.

If you have a beaker of sugar mixed with a small volume of water and then add sulfuric acid to it then you mix it, it will form a carbon foam. The water in the sugar is dehydrated leaving the carbon atoms which are pushed out of the beaker.
