you are trying to make jam, but you messed up the directions. you boiled the sugar mixture for an hour and the temp got up to 400 degrees. it doesn't burn, but it has turned into something, what is it?

This formula shows the chemical reaction that occurs when the body breaks down sugar. The products are carbon dioxide and water. how many carbon atoms are needed in this reaction?
I need to see the formula you are talking about
What happens to sugar in water when the water is heated?
The sugar The sugar turns into its constituents. Sugar is made up of carbon and water. So when the sugar is heated, it turns into carbon and oxygen.The equation can be:-Sugar==>Carbon+Water
What chemical reaction occurs when the body breaks down sugar?
This type of reaction is oxidation.
When sugar is heated what happen to limewater?
No reaction takes place
What is the residue left after charring a sucrose?
What is left after heating sucrose is charcoal or solid carbon (C2). Heating causes sucrose to decompose as referred to this chemical reaction: C12H22O11 + O2 (the air is filled with it) - Heated --> CO2 + H2O + C2

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.
What happens to sugar in water when the water is heated?
The sugar The sugar turns into its constituents. Sugar is made up of carbon and water. So when the sugar is heated, it turns into carbon and oxygen.The equation can be:-Sugar==>Carbon+Water

What breaks down sugar into carbon dioxide and water?
Fermentation
When sugar is heated what happen to limewater?
No reaction takes place
If burning sugar is a chemical reaction can you give me an evidence?
Burning is a chemical reaction; sugar is transformed in carbon dioxide and water.
What breaks down sugar in living things?
Cellular respiration breaks down sugar in living things (as well as returning carbon back to the atmosphere.) Hopefully this has helped! :)
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
Is sugar more stable than carbon dioxide?
It is carbon dioxide that is more stable than sugar. Sugar, which is a general term for several different larger molecules composed of carbon chains, will decompose when heated. This is just one example of the relative instability of sugar when compared to carbon dioxide.
What is the chemical reaction called when sugar become water and carbon?
combustion
What chemical reaction happens to sugar when you heat it?
What happens to sugar upon heating it depends on how hot you heat it and how quickly. If you are exceedingly (!) carefully, it will melt and turn into a liquid. If you are not so careful, it will turn into caramel, which is actually slightly burned sugar. When sugar is heated, it melts into a brown liquid, boils and turns into a black solid. Droplets of colorless liquid is seen at the cooler sides of the test tube. The solid is carbon.
