Combustion of Sucrose

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

Ikhtisar

Sucrose (table sugar) burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. When ignited directly, sugar burns slowly. However, when mixed with potassium chlorate or concentrated sulfuric acid, it reacts much more vigorously. The energy content of sugar is about 4 kcal/gram.
