When sugar is decomposed, carbon is left. Therefore, the balanced equation would be C12H22O11 -> 12C+11H2O

The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of sugar (sucrose) can be represented as C12H22O11 -> 12C + 11H2O. This reaction breaks down sugar into carbon (C) and water (H2O) through the process of pyrolysis.
