Best Answer

The kinetic energy is only very slightly involved in dissolving sugar. What is important is that stirring mixes the solution and the liquid close to the sugar will not get saturated because it is being mixed with all the other liquid. the grains of sugar will present more surface area to the solvent (they will be mixed up in it and not settle to the bottom of the mixing vessel) thus the grains will dissolve faster if they are stirred vigorously. The heat energy added to the solution from stirring plays a very minor role.

Why Rizal considered his fasther as model father?

The sugar cubes soften when placed in the water and begin to dissolve. The sugar cube in the hot water dissolves the fastest. Sugar will dissolve faster when you stir the solution quickly because the act of stirring increases kinetic energy which increases the temperature.


Is chemical bond in a sugar molecule kinetic energy?

kinetic


Why does sugar dissolve more in hot tea than in cold tea?

Tea is mainly water. Water is a polar solvent and will dissolve polar solutes. Sugar is polar. Therefore, hot tea will dissolve sugar due to the polarity of each substances. The second factor is the heat. Generally (but not always) increasing the temperature allows the solute to dissolve more quickly. The temperature increases the kinetic energy of the solute and the solvent. The polar solute bonds can be broken and the solute can be dispersed in the solvent more quickly if the energy of the system is higher.


Do a sugar cube dissolve in cold coffee?

Yes, just not as quickly


Do some types of sugar dissolve more quickly then others?

yes it does


When brewing coffee what happens to the water molecules?

The water molecules gain energy and move more rapidly. See Kinetic Theory.


Why can hot tea hold more sugar than cold tea?

I am not sure what they are looking for here. The general answer is because the solvent constant is dependent on temperature. The molecular answer is that temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy present in solution. Increasing the kinetic energy in solution increases the chance that a water molecule will collide with the sugar with sufficient force to dissociate the molecules of 'sugar' from each other, thus allowing it to dissolve is solution.


Why does warm water dissolve alker-seltzer faster?

Warm water dissolves anything faster. The molecules in water move at different rates depending on temperature. Cold water has closely packed molecules and in hot water the molecules are vibrating more and moving all around. They have kinetic energy which is the energy of movement which allows them to have more evergy and it can dissolve things faster such as when u stir sugar into water, the kinetic energy of stirring makes it dissolve more than just pouring it in.

Sugar will dissolve more quickly in iced tea if you stir it because stirring?

helps the solute to diffuse.


Why do sugar granules dissolve more quickly than sugar cubes?

Probably because the surface area of the sugar granules is larger, more sugar molecules are exposes to water at once.


How long does it take for a sugar cube to dissolve in one half cup of hot water or and in one half cup of cold water?

The sugar cube in the hot water will dissolve faster because there are more and higher energy collisions between the water molecules and the sugar molecules which will cause the sugar to dissolve faster.
