Concentrated Sulfuric acid is poured over sugar.

Open in App

Solution

Sulfuric acid is highly dehydrating in nature.
Sulfuric acid reacts with sugar to form a black mass due to the removal of water present in it.
The black mass is of the element carbon.
The chemical equation for this reaction is,
$\underset{S u g a r}{C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}} (s) + \underset{S u l f u r i c a c i d}{H_{2} S O_{4} (l)} \to \underset{C a r b o n}{6 C (s)} + 6 H_{2} O (l) + H_{2} S O_{4} (l)$
