Best Answer

When sugar dissolves its molecules separate and become surrounded by water molecules (the sugar molecule is polar and attracts the polar water molecules). If you don't stir, the water molecules near the sugar are soon all taken up and the remaining sugar molecules can only go into solution as fast as new water molecules diffuse in and collide with them. Stirring rapidly increases the rate at which the new water molecules mix with those already bonded to sugar molecules).

To get the sugar to dissolve and mix in evenly with the tea. Otherwise you just get a very sweet layer at the bottom, and unsweetened tea on the top.

Because sugar is sweet and the sugar dissolves in the water containing the tea.

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.
