  1. The most common sugar is sucrose. The simplest is glucose (C6H12O6 - carbohydrate). Heating or treating with sulfuric acid removes the bonded (OH's not bound terribly strong) water to leave carbon. With heating, intermediate conditions are syrup and then toffee - wonderful stuff.

    C6H12O6 + heat -> 6C ("charcoal") + 6H2O

    C6H12O6 + 6H2SO4 -> 6C ("volcanic foam") + watered down H2SO4 [6(H3O)2SO4]


  2. C12H22O11-> 12 C+ 11 H2O

    Sugar decomposes into Carbon black and water vapor when subject to heat
