You can, it's just not marked as such. Basic powdered or confectioner's sugar unless it is marked 10x is the same as 4x powdered sugar.
Any reaction occur.
Icing sugar is normal white granulated sugar that has been powdered to be very very fine.
Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest. Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.

Synthetic sweeteners have the same consistency, but may alter the flavor of other items used in the recipe. Granular sugar can be substituted in most preparations. Knock on a neighbor's door.
There are approximately 3 3/4 cups of powdered sugar to 1lb WEIGHT in dry measure of powdered sugar....+/-, depending on density of the sugar.Powdered sugar is packaged by weight, not volume.

No <><><><><> Exception- ANY dry organic matter that has been powdered, and is hanging in the air as a fine dust is potentially explosive. This includes powdered wood, sugar, powdered milk. etc. Normal ground pepper is not, but fine dust is.
I'm not sure I'm getting the meaning of the question. It is usually eaten with a knife and fork, and frankly I have never heard of it being eaten any other way. Butter, syrup and various other toppings including powdered sugar are optional. Personally, I loathe powdered sugar on any breakfast food.
Powered sugar dissolves faster because it has more surface area.
