Apparatus: Evaporating dish, Bunsen burner, etc.
Chemicals: Sugar
Procedure: Take some sugar in an evaporating dish and heat it with the help of a Bunsen burner. After some time you will see the formation of a burnt out black substance. Exactly what must have happened in this activity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When sugar is heated, it decomposes into two substances: carbon and water. The burnt out black substance that remains is carbon.
`underset("sugar")(C_(12)H_(22)O_(H(s)))overset(Delta)rarrunderset("Carbon")12C_((s))+underset("vapour")underset("Water")(HH_(2)O_((s))`
Inference: This reaction is a decomposition reaction as a single reactant decomposes into two products.
