A saturated solution.
A sugar lump takes longer to dissolve than a spoonful of sugar because it has a larger mass and a more compact structure, which reduces the surface area exposed to the solvent (usually water). When sugar is in granulated form, the smaller particles have a greater surface area relative to their volume, allowing them to interact with water more efficiently and dissolve more quickly. Additionally, the compact structure of a sugar lump requires more time for water to penetrate and break it down.
Yes, sugar can dissolve in a clear glass of cold water without stirring, but it will dissolve more slowly compared to if the water were warm. The process can be accelerated by stirring or heating the water.
Yes, cube sugar typically takes longer to dissolve in warm water compared to granulated sugar. This is because the larger surface area of granulated sugar allows it to dissolve more quickly due to increased contact with the water molecules. Cube sugar, on the other hand, has a smaller surface area, which slows down the dissolution process.
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
Sugar can typically dissolve in one cup of water as long as the water is warm or hot. Stirring the water also helps to fully dissolve the sugar more quickly.
The variable for both sugar and salt is temperature: more sugar or salt will dissolve in water at a higher temperature. The amount of water is also a factor, since more water will be able to dissolve more sugar or salt.
Sugar may not be dissolving in water if the water is already saturated with sugar, meaning it cannot dissolve any more. Increasing the temperature of the water can help dissolve more sugar as heated water has higher solubility. Stirring or crushing the sugar can also help it dissolve in water more easily.
Sugar molecules are smaller and have a more linear shape compared to salt molecules, which allows them to easily break apart and dissolve in water. The chemical structure of sugar also forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, aiding in its dissolution. Salt, on the other hand, has a more complex ionic structure that takes longer to break down and dissolve in water.
The solubility of sugar in water increases with temperature. At 20°C, 300g of sugar can dissolve in water, while at a higher temperature like 80°C, more sugar can dissolve. The exact temperature at which 300g of sugar will dissolve in water depends on the water temperature and the saturation point of sugar in water at that specific temperature.
Granulated sugar would dissolve faster because there is more surface area exposed to the water.
is heated. Heating water increases its ability to dissolve substances, including sugar, by breaking down the sugar crystals more effectively.
Even in cold water sugar will dissolve eventually, but it does dissolve faster in hot water. Hot water molecules move faster than cold water molecules and therefore can more easily break sugar molecules out of solid sugar and into solution.
