Adding concentrated suAddinglfuric acid to sugar is reversible or irreversible change
Answers
Explanation:
One of the most spectacular chemistry demonstrations is also one of the simplest. It's the dehydration of sugar (sucrose) with sulfuric acid. Basically, all you do to perform this demonstration is put ordinary table sugar in a glass beaker and stir in some concentrated sulfuric acid (you can dampen the sugar with a small volume of water before adding the sulfuric acid). The sulfuric acid removes water from the sugar in a highly exothermic reaction, releasing heat, steam, and sulfur oxide fumes. Aside from the sulfurous odor, the reaction smells a lot like caramel.
Answer:
Sulfuric acid is well known for its ability to act in three distinct ways: as an acid, as an oxidising agent, and as a dehydrating agent; these demonstrations support the third of these. For a suitable audience you can also use the reaction with sucrose to illustrate the oxidising action of concentrated sulfuric acid.
