Sugar By: Holly Check Hour: 7 Chemical Name: sucrose Common Name: table sugar Synonyms: cane sugar or beet sugar Chemical Formula: C12H22O11 Formula Weight: molecular weight is 342.3 Common uses: in baking products, it's one of the most important components of medicine, it's used to slow down the setting of cement, it plays a role in leather tanning and paper dying, and prolongs the life of fresh cut flowers. History of Compound: It is thought to have originated in New Guinea, and was spread along routes to Southeast Asia and India. The process known for creating sugar, by pressing out the juice and then boiling it into crystals, was developed in India around 500 BC.
