When sugar is burned, water vapor and carbon dioxide are produced.
A sugar molecule has a specific number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Use the balanced chemical
equation to identify the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar.
sugar + 1202-11H20 + 12C02
Sugar has carbon atoms.
Sugar has hydrogen atoms
Sugar has oxygen atoms.

Assuming that this an ideal reaction that has no emission of atoms,

Sugar should have the equation of C12H22O11

Verifying,

C12H22O11 + 1202 => 11H20 + 12C02

Explanation

First, write down the formula of sugar as X

X + 1202 => 11H20 + 12C02

Subtracting Oxygen molecules from both sides,

X => 11H2O + 12C

Therefore, the formula of sugar should contain these elements in same ratio due to the law of conservation of mass.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU :-)
