Appearance: white crystalline solid 

Taste: sweet 

Odor: none, sucrose has odorless crystals 

 Molecular mass: 342.30 g/mol 

 Melting point: 186°C 

Density: 1.587 g/cm3 

Solubility: soluble in water (203.9g/100mL at 20°C), slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol

Combustion: Sucrose combusts to produce carbon dioxide and water 

Reaction with Chloric Acid: When sucrose reacts with chloric acid, it forms hydrochloric acid, carbon dioxide, and water 

 Hydrolysis: The glycosidic bond in sucrose (C12H22O11) is broken during hydrolysis, resulting in the formation of glucose and fructose

 Dehydration with Sulfuric Acid: When dehydrated using sulfuric acid as a catalyst, sucrose transforms into a carbon-rich black solid
