What are your observations in the combustion of sugar activity?

Answer»

Observations in the combustion of sugar:

2. When sugar is combusted, carbon dioxide and water are produced. 

3. Energy is also released in the form of heat and it released at once. 

4. We cannot control the combustion of sugar. 

5. Intermediate products are not formed. 

6. We can combust sugar in the absence of water and enzymes. 

7. When combustion of sugar, heat energy is released into the atmosphere and we cannot store it for further use.
