Sugar when added to water makes water sweeter.It is harmful for diabetics and helpful to their heirs.

Sugar crystals interact with water via hydrogen bonds- weak bonds that take place primarily between positively-charged hydrogen atoms and negatively-charged oxygen atoms. The two substances interact freely when combined. Water molecules surround individual molecules of sugar, breaking the bonds between sugar particles until the crystals are either fully dissolved, or until there are no 'free' water molecules left. When this occurs, the sugar crystals do not fully dissolve. Hydrogen bonds are so weak that they are constantly breaking and reforming, causing individual molecules to exchange positions. Because energy is required to break and form bonds, and heat is a form of energy, the warmer the water, the more readily the sugar dissolves.

Water with sugar in it has lower freezing and higher boiling points than pure water.

Does sugar make nails rust?

Rusting requires iron, oxygen and water. Some substances added to water can accelerate rusting, but these are usually ionic. Sugar, being molecular, would have no effect.


Is sugar water ionic or covalent?

Sugar is a molecular solid. A solution of sugar in water is neither ionic or covalent, but rather a homogeneous mixture.

Does water salt water or sugar water evaporate faster?

They all evaporate at the same rate. The sugar and salt are in solution with the water. The sugar and salt will remain in the container after the water has evaporated. It will not affect the rate at which the water evaporates. I think you are wrong.Based on an experiment, sugar water evaporates the fastest followed by salt water as the more molecular weight the faster it evaporates.Sugar has more molecular weight than salt.


Is sugar and water heterogeneous?

How one has more molecules 9g of water or9g of sugar?

Perhaps you mean: Does sugar have more atoms than water?In a certain fixed mass of sugar/water, there will be more molecules of water than of sugar since the molecular mass of sugar is higher than that of water. We follow the rule of Mass = Number of moles of a substance * Molecular mass of the substance.We rearrange this to form Number of moles = Mass / Molecular massTherefore, since the molecular mass of sugar is higher, the number of moles of sugar in a fixed mass of sugar is lower. The number of moles of sugar is directly proportional to the number of molecules of sugar, since we follow Avogadro's Law:1 mole = 6 * 10^23 molecules (constant value)However, if you meant to ask if sugar had more atoms than water, the answer is yes, it does. Sugar (presumably glucose) has the chemical formula of C6H12O6 and thus has 24 C, H and O atoms altogether. Water, with the formula H2O, has 3 atoms of H and O altogether.I hope this was helpful! :)


Are sugar particles are chemically joined to water particles in sugar water?

Not quite in the way you may think. Sugar particles are solvated within water, meaning that water molecules will form solvated shells around sucrose (common table sugar) and result in the sucrose molecules becoming dispersed within the water. How the water interacts with the sucrose molecule is by hydrogen bonding with the sugar's polar groups, which is a strong molecular interaction, however is not quite a covalent chemical bond.
