Best Answer

Table sugar: is a disaccharide consisting of one glucose and one fructose combined together

Sugar cube : is combination of two mono saccharides, Glucose and Fructose

and usually it is sweeter and has a better taste, that is why in pastry, bakery and in general in confectionery they use this type of sugar(it has less tendency to crystallization) and /or converted sugar which is in fact disaccharide converted to monosaccharide.

yes a sugar cube is a solid because it is not runny or gassy e.g water is a liquid and air is a gas so that means that this sugar cube is a solid but if you combined the water and the air and the sugar cube it will become a liquid because the sugar cube has disintegrated into the water and the air dose nothing.

What happens to the molecules of a solid such as a sugar cube when it dissolves water?

The sugar molecules dissipate throughout the water - mixing with the water molecules.


Why does a sugar cube disappears when it dissolves in water?

The "cube" disappears but the "sugar" doesn't. When placed in water the sugar dissolves. Essentially the sugar molecules break off from the solid and hide among the water molecules. If the water were to be removed by evaporation the sugar would precipitate out. if done carefully large sugar crystals will grow in the evaporating solution. The sugar cube will not reform as this is an artificial construct.


How many ways can a sugar cube change?

That would depend on how you define "change" and "sugar cube". If moving a sugar cube changes it, since you could move any sugar cube to an uncountable number of other locations, such a sugar cube could change in an infinite number of ways. If you define "sugar cube" as a six sided solid of glucose, you could substitute any one or more of several billion atoms for its isotope, and change it into a different sugar cube. If you allow chemical reactions, as in "how many ways can the contents of a sugar cube be used to make another substance?", then again, there are an infinite number if potential transformations. If you were to hurl a particular sugar cube into the ocean or the sun, in a thousand years, atoms from that cube would be found in several billion organisms.

What happens when you drop a sugar cube into a hot mug of tea?

using diffusion what might happen when you drop a sugar cube into a mug of tea. For the sugar cube ,since the sugar cube is source, the molecules will diffuse into the hot water the sugar cube will despair
