Combustion of Sucrose
C12H22O11 + 12O2 → 12CO2 + 11H2O
Visão geral
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.
