Does sugar water evaporate faster than normal water?

Water evaporates quicker than water.


Why does sugar stay when tea dissolves?

tea doesnt dissolve its the sugar that does


How do you add more sugar to tea and dissolve the sugar?

heat the tea and stir it. this will allow you to dissolve more sugar in the tea, causing it to be supersaturated. once the tea cools some sugar may fall to the bottom.


Is sugar stirred into tea a mixture or a compound?

because sugar separates from tea!


How does stirring make sugar in water dissolve quicker?

Stirring enhances not only sugar dissolving in tea, but the same phenomenon applies every time a solid is dissolved in a solvent (the liquid phase). Let's look at what happens if a sugar crystal dissolves in tea: The sugar molecules leave the crystal and enter into the tea surrounding it. After some time you have a high concentration of sugar molecules just next to the remaining crystal. Now we have to consider another effect: The tea (or any solvent for that matter) can only accommodate a certain amount of molecules being dissolved in it (in our case the sugar). When the limit is reached there is no space (simply put) for any more sugar molecules left. Stirring removes the sugar molecules next to the remaining sugar crystal by distributing them in the rest of the tea, so that now there is new space for additional sugar molecules to exit from the crystal into the tea. Without stirring, the sugar molecules also get distributed through your whole cup of tea, by a process called diffusion, but this is much slower than simply stirring the tea.

How can sugar be dissolved in ice tea?

You can use one of two methods: 1: while making the iced tea, if using a hot tea method and then icing it, add the sugar to the hot tea before cooling. 2: Create a simple syrup. Combine two cups of sugar with one cup of water in a nonreactive saucepan. Heat until the sugar is dissolved (but don't let it boil over!). Then let cool gently. The sugar is now in a super-saturated solution adding sweet cool liquid to your iced tea.


Why do tea drinkers prefer a teacup?

They prefer tea cups as tea is served very hot and a tea cup is thinner than a coffee mug so the tea will cool quicker oppossed to a coffee mug which is supposed to keep your coffee hot.


What sugar makes the largest rock candy?

In what temperature does sugar dissolve faster?

yes, because if the water is a higher temperature when the sugar is dissolving in it, then the particles of the sugar move around faster and mix with the water particles quicker


What is the mass of a cup of tea when you add sugar?

Yes. The mass is preserved in a chemical reaction. In other words, the tea will weigh more when sugar is added to it, and the final mass will be exactly as much as the mass of the tea without sugar plus the mass of the sugar alone.


How do you make a gallon of sweet tea?

You will need 12 regular tea bags, two pounds of sugar, boiling water and a gallon container. Boil the water and put the tea bags into it. While it is still hot, disolve the sugar into the mixture, and let the bags steep until the mixture is lukewarm. Squeeze the teabags, pour the tea into a container and cool in the refrigerator. If there is too little tea, rinse the teabags in hot water to get more tea to pour into the original batch to top it off. The key to the sweet tea is to get the sugar into it while it is still hot, then cool as quickly as possible. Do not dilute this tea, it is designed to be used over ice which will make it the right strength.

What happens to sugar when added to tea?

When you add sugar (solute) into the tea (solvent) it mixes together to make a solution (when a solute/sugar, mixes into a solvent/tea.)The particles in the tea will start breaking up the sugar molecules. This is called dissolving, that is when a solute will mixes and disappear into a solvent.


Why does the sugar disappear when you stir it in tea?

because the sugar dissolves in your tea with the heat
