Question
Write the reaction of conc. H2SO4 with sugar. What is the role of H2SO4 in this reaction?
Advertisements
Solution
The reaction is:
\[\ce{\underset{Cane sugar}{C12H22O11} ->[H2SO4] \underset{Carbon}{12 C} + \underset{Water}{11 H2O}}\]
H2SO4 acts as the catalyst in the reaction and helps to remove the water from the sugar molecule.
