Sugar lowers the freezing point of a liquid by a process called "freezing point depression". The same idea is used when salt is sprinkled on icy roads to melt the ice. Sugar only works half as well as salt however.

Sugar is easily dissolved in water at boiling point.

Of course, sugar is not soluble in ice.

Does sugar water boil at 100 degrees Celsius?

(At sea level) no. Sugar raises the boiling point as well as lowering the freezing point.


How do the melting and boiling points of water differ from those of a sugar water solution?

The phenomenon of boiling point elevation is analogous to freezing point depression


What is the purpose of salt or sugar dissolving in water?

Sugar turns water into gatorade. Salt can be used to raise the boiling point or lower the freezing point of water.


Why water mixed with sugar doesn't evaporate at 100c?

the sugar solution will not boil at 100C because the solute(sugar) has a slight attraction on the water molecules, increasing the boiling point and lowering the freezing point.


Does changing the amount of sugar affect the boiling point of water?

Yes. Dissolved sugar increase the boiling point.


Why does the water bubble up then stop then it starts again just by adding salt?

When you add the salt it increases the boiling point of the water, so bubbling stops until this new solution reaches its boiling point. Adding salt, sugar, or any solute to water raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of water.


How does the boiling point affect sugar water?

salt or sugar would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point. The salt or sugar would reduce the partial pressure of water in the solution (essentially more competition), effectively raising the boiling point.


What physical change was noted in dissolving one gram of sugar in 5ml of water?

Changes of: density, viscosity, boiling point, freezing point, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, compressibility, etc.


Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?

Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly


Can you change the melting point of ice?

yes adding anything that will dissolve into water will alter the chemical structure of the compound. This will cause it to become impure and will alter the freezing and boiling point. This is easily done with salt and sugar.


Does sugar the time it takes water to freeze?

The freezing point of solution is always less than that of the freezing point of the pure solvent. The freezing point of pure water is 0 (zero) degree celsius. The freezing point of the water decreases with the increase in the sugar concentration. for ex. a 10 grams of sugar when dissolved in 100 grams of water, the freezing point depression of -0.56 degree Celsius A 10 molal sucrose will bring about the depression in freezing point of water to about -20 degree celsius


When sugar is dissolved in water will the solution boil at a higher or lower temperature than pure wter?

if by reversible you mean can you get it back as regular sugar than yes
