in the chemical reaction in which sucrose is heated and decomposes to form carbon dioxide  and water a. sucrose is a reactant

A reaction in which the reactants splits to produce two or more products is called a decomposition reaction.

It can be represented as:

XY ------> X + Y

The correct answer is:

Option A. Sucrose

This can be explained as:

  • The reaction for the decomposition of sucrose is given as:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (Sucrose)  + 12 O₂ -----> 12 CO₂ (Carbon dioxide)  +  11 H₂O (water)

  • The reactant of a reaction is written generally on the left side of the reaction.

  • The reactant is a substance that reacts and undergoes chemical changes to form products.

Therefore, sucrose is the reactant.
