We stir iced tea to dissolve the sugar because the added friction helps to break the sugar molecules apart.

Why does the sugar disappear when you stir it in tea?

because the sugar dissolves in your tea with the heat


Why do you stir sugar in a cup of coffee?

Yes because the solvent is the iced tea and the solute is the sugar. A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute. A solute is the substance that is dissolved. Both add up to equal a solution. A solution can either be a gas, liquid, or solid. It can be a homogeneous mixture that is the same throughout or a the particles are larger than those found in a solution- meaning it does not dissolve. I hope this helped answer your question.


Why does sugar melt faster in hot tea than in ice tea?

Sugar melts faster in hot tea because the heat of the water causes it to melt more quickly. Iced water is very cold and the sugar takes longer to dissolve.


Is ice tea a solute or solvent?

Well, I believe that in referring to placing sugar in iced tea, tea is the solvent, and sugar the solute. Technically, however, the question is flawed, as tea can be a solute as well, with water as the solvent and the organic compounds released from steeping the tea leaves the solute.


What are three ways to make sugar cube dissolve more quickly in water?

The main one that teachers and examiners love is that, if you crush the sugar cube into a powder, it dramatically increases the surface area, allowing more solvent to come into contact with the sugar particles.Another way, if the solvent you are using is water, would be to increase the temperature of the water (think of when you make tea, the sugar dissolves a lot faster in hot tea than cold tea). Higher temperatures result in the water molecules moving much faster, meaning they will more frequently come into contact (collide) with the sugar particles.A final way, (the only other one that I can think of) would be to stir, or rather agitate the solution, (again think of when you make tea, if you don't stir the tea, it will just settle at the bottom of the cup).Hope this Helps!:)
