Reaction between sugar and concentrated sulfuric acid produces coal


The concentrated sulfuric acid can take the water out of the sugar molecule producing coal plus water according to reaction equation:
C12H22O11(s) → 12 C(s) + 11 H2O(aq)
That is a exothermic process and liberates poison's vapors, then take care and use one appropriated place , don’t do it indoors!
