What is the chemical equation for the combustion of sucrose?

Answer 1

When a substance melts, like sugar, the chemical structure does not change. It is still sugar. Whether it is crystaline, solid (as in a lollipop), or melted, it still has the same equation - c12 h22 o11.

Answer 2

There really isn't one.

If you put the sugar in water and heat it to the soft ball, firm ball or soft crack lines on a candy thermometer, the sugar quits being individual disaccharide molecules and becomes a polysaccharide big enough to see with the naked eye. Go get a piece of hard candy and look at it: the whole piece is one molecule. (Teflon does the same thing, but it doesn't taste as good.)

If you heat the sugar water to the hard crack line, or just heat sugar by itself, it'll turn brown. This is caramelization. Now, here's the problem you face: Caramelization throws off somewhere around four hundred different compounds, and we haven't yet discovered what all of them are.

If you mix sugar with protein - milk, meat, what have you - and heat that, you will witness the Maillard reaction. If you make milk caramel - it's easy but please don't spill any on you - this is the reaction you will get. And it also throws off unknown compounds.

And the final products are water and carbon dioxide.

The chemical reaction of sucrose combustion is:

C12H22O11 + 12 O2 = 12 CO2 + 11 H2O
