Sugar is a carbohydrate, its molecule consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The most common sugar molecules have the formula C6H12O6, meaning 6 atoms of carbon, 12 of hydrogen, and 6 of oxygen. When completely burned, the 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms combine into 6 molecules of H2O (water) leaving only the 6 carbon atoms behind. Other sugars, with slightly different formulae, react to heat in a similar fashion.

∙ 14y agoYes, because sugar is a chemical, if you burn it, it means you are oxidising the sugar.

C12H22O11solid + O2gas ---heat---> C+CO2 + H2O

When sugar canalize on being heated above its melting point is physical change or chemical?
Melting is a physical process.
Why charring of sugar is a chemical change OR A physical change?
It is a chemical change because sugar is decomposed.
Is mold a chemical change?
No. A material is heated, i.e. changes state, then hardens again. No chemical change, but at least a partial state change.
Is The starch in the pizza crust turns to sugar physical or chemical change?
chemical change
Is pulverizing sugar a chemical or a physical change?
It is a physical change. The sugar is still sugar after it is pulverized.
What kind of change that takes place when sugar is heated at a short time?
a chemical change take a place
When sugar canalize on being heated above its melting point is physical change or chemical?
Melting is a physical process.
Why mixing of sugar into water is chemical change?
First and for most, sugar mixing in water is not a chemical change. It is a physical change (Something which can be gotten back) Water and sugar, once mixed, can both be seperated by heated the liquid. The water evaporates, thus the sugar is left behind. Hope i helped. Chao!
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?
I'd say it's a chemical change, because it's obviously not a sugar anymore...
When sugar is heated for a short time a thick colorless liquid substance is formed What kind of change takes place?
A chemical change takes place.
Who discovered sugar is a chemical change?
Sugar is a (chemical) compound, but not a change at all.
Is water is heated and changed to steam a physical change or chemical change?
chemical
Why charring of sugar is a chemical change OR A physical change?
It is a chemical change because sugar is decomposed.
What is the chemical change when heating a spoonful of sugar?
If the sugar is heated to a sufficient temperature, it will decompose and produce CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). This would be considered a combustion reaction.
Is sugar changing to alcohol a chemical change?
Sugar changing to alcohol is a chemical change.
Is cooking caramelized sugar a physical or chemical change?
Yes, as well as a chemical change. It clearly changes (white, granulated sugar and liquid to burned brown sugar and liquid to a sticky [and delicious] substance). It changes from a solution to a syrup!
Is sugar being heated to produce steam and a black solid a chemical change?
Yes is it a chemical change as the process is irreversible. Also its properties are being changed and it looks different physically which always means a chemical change has occurred or will occur if certain substances are put together.
