Let's imagine the following objects first:
Sugar cubes are solid blocks, each with a comparatively larger volume.
Granulated sugar is fine and particulate, and each grain has a very small volume.
It is only logical that when comparing one block of sugar to one grain of sugar, that the grain dissolves faster because it has a smaller volume (less to dissolve), and the surface area to volume ratio is much higher.

∙ 11y agoThe surface area to volume ratio of the granular sugar is much higher than the surface area to volume of a cube of sugar, so this allows for the sugar to react with the water much faster and dissolve.

Why granulated sugar will dissolve faster in a cup of coffee than sugar cubes?
Granulated sugar has more surface area exposed to the coffee, therefore it will dissolve faster.
What is the difference between sugar crystals and sugar cubes?
sugar crystals are just small sugar pieces that combine into sugar cubes
What would react more quickly in a chemical reaction a single cube or an equal mass of granulated sugar crystals?
Granulated sugar. With a sugar cube, only the sugar on the six faces of the cube can react; the sugar WITHIN the cube is surrounded only by other sugar molecules. Ground-up, or "granulated" sugar has thousands of faces, so it can all react at once.
What is a good experiment using sugar cubes and sugar crystals?
i think it does because sugar cubes are shaped like a cube and they are much bigger than sugar crystals . and also it affects the amount of sugar you are putting in the glass and i think using sugar cubes would do a good experiment of dissolving sugar
What mixtures can dissolve?
Sugar can dissolve in water.
Why granulated sugar will dissolve faster in a cup of coffee than sugar cubes?
Granulated sugar has more surface area exposed to the coffee, therefore it will dissolve faster.
What is more expensive granulated sugar or sugar cubes?
sugar cubes
Why would granulated sugar dissolve in water than a sugar cube?
Granulated sugar would dissolve faster because there is more surface area exposed to the water.
Do sugar cubes dissolve faster crushed or whole in hot or cold?
I never heard of crushed water. Crushed ice (which sugar cubes don't dissolve in at all), but not crushed water. Let's see here: sugar dissolves faster in hot water than cold. And crushed sugar cubes, because the sugar has more surface area, dissolve faster than cold ones.
Who to dissolve sugar cubes?
water!
Do sugar cubes dissolve in water?
Yes
What makes sugar cubes dissolve?
Liquid
What sugar will desolve first sugar cube or granulated sugar?
A sugar cube will - one, sugar cubes are designed specifically to dissolve quickly into solvents such as tea, coffee, liquids to make solutions. Granulated sugar, on the other hand, is often a solute for solid solvents such as flour etc. However, the granulated sugar can be dissolved more quickly if stirred, which makes the solute particles attract to the solvent particles more efficiently.
Can you use sugar cubes instead of granulated sugar?
Yes, grind well in a blender. Double check your measurements after you do.
How can you separate sandshred candle wax and granulated sugar?
dissolve the sugar in water then filter to get the wax then boil off the water from the sugar
Why is caster sugar better to make muffins than granulated sugar?
Both work equally well for muffins. The only difference is that caster sugar is ground a little finer than granulated sugar. Granulated sugar might take a little longer to dissolve, but it will work equally well.
How sugar can take the shape iof jar but sugar is solid?
Most sugar bought for home use is granulated, so it pours freely. Therefore, it will fill a jar and take on the shape of the jar. Sugar cubes are solid cubes, so there will be a lot of spaces between the solid cubes.
