Advertisements
Solution
1. Dissolution of sugar:
- When sugar is dissolved in water it disappears. It we taste the solution, the sugar is still present in dissolved form.
- If water is evaporated we get back the sugar.
- So it is a physical and reversible change.
2. Burning of sugar:
- Fire activates a chemical reaction between sugar and oxygen. The oxygen in the air reacts with the sugar as the chemical bonds broke.
- Energy is released in the form of smoke.
- So, burning a sugar is a chemical change.
