Assuming that you mean table sugar (sucrose), then at room temperature and without any catalyst, there is no reaction. 

However if you elevate and hold the temperature of the aqueous solution at 50 to 60 °C (especially in the presence of a suitable catalyst, like mineral acid) the sucrose dimer will split into glucose and fructose. This is called hydrolysis and the resulting solution is called an invert sugar solution. 

The reaction could be written as: 

C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O (water) → C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) 

or 

C12H22O11 (aq) + H2O (l) → C6H12O6 (aq) + C6H12O6 (aq) 

Notice that both of the produced sugars have the same empirical formula. Check with your instructor or in your textbook to see if more exact formulas are needed.

Are pure substances chemically combined​
dmitriy555 [2]

Pure substances can or can not be chemically combined.

Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, but not mixture. Mixture are different substances mixing together without being chemically combined, such as air, which is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. Mixture can be separated by physical methods, like filtration or decantation.

Meanwhile, elements are the substances that cannot be further separated by any means. No matter physical or chemical methods. Examples of elements are oxygen, hydrogen, neon and all the other ones from the periodic table. Compounds are basically elements joining together, but they’re chemically combined which means their electrons (kind of subatomic particle) are either shared or given away. These elements can only be separated by chemical methods like electrolysis or heating.

Therefore, as long as the substance cannot be separated by physical methods, it can be considered as a pure substance. We can now conclude that pure substance can be (element) or can not be (compound) chemically combined.

Explain why the freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen because it occupy more space.

Explanation:

When the water change its state of liquid to solid state due to decrease in temperature, it contracts means occupy less space but when the temperature reaches to 4 degree Celsius, it starts to expand. When the temperature goes below 0 degree Celsius, it will cause more expansion and occupy more space that causes the cracks to widen.
