The answer is that the specific heat is unusually high. This means that you have to supply more heat than for most substances in order to raise the temperature by each degree C.

Some students wanted to test the rate at which salt dissolves in water they put 10 g of salt and 200 mL of water in each beaker in which beaker will the salt most easily dissolve?

Amount of solute dissolved in any solvent is directly related to the concentration of solute dissolved to the proportion of solvent. Fro example salt will easily mix in water but when the concentration of salt is increased but solvent is kept unchanged a point is achieved where no more solute will be dissolved in the solvent- Point of saturation of solvent.


Why sugar dissolves fast on heating?

When sugar is dissolved in any solvent (i.e. Water or Milk), its molecule tries to adjust themselves between the molecules of the solvent... When the solvent is heated the distance between the molecules is increased and the sugar molecules are easily dissolved as compared to when the solvent is cool or at normal temperature...
