Will sugar cubes in hot water or powdered sugar in hot water dissolve quicker?
Powered sugar dissolves faster because it has more surface area.
Why does icing sugar dissolve faster than other sugars?
It has more surface area.
Why do you think that is easier to dissolve powdered brown sugar tahn a big whole piece or chunk of brown sugar in water?
The finer the grains of sugar, the more surface area of individual grains is exposed to the heat. A solid lump of sugar has to melt from the surface into the centre - therefore, initially, has less surface exposed to the heat.
Why are powdered substance more effective adsorbents than their crystalline forms?
powdered substances have more surface area so they can be broken down quicker than substances with less surface area and that will cause the sustance to be absorbed quicker.
Why it is easier to dissolve powdered brown sugar than a big a whole piece of brown sugar?
More surface area in the powdered sugar. Means more of the sugar gets exposed to the liquid at the same time. In a big lump, the sugar inside won't get in contact with the liquid until the outer sugar has worn away.
What are 3 things you can do to get sugar to dissolve quickly in a liquid solution?
Stir/agitate the water. Heat the water. Make the sugar crystals smaller/expand surface area of sugar.
Why is a catalyst more effective in powdered form?
Higher surface area is available for the chemical reaction.
Why powdered flour reacts more quickly than lumps of wheats?
Powdered flour reacts more quickly than lumps of wheat because it has more surface area to absorb liquid.
Why powdered zinc act more vigorously than metal zinc?
Powdered zinc has a greater surface area giving it a greater chance to react with a substance.
Why does icing sugar dissolves rapidly than granular sugar?
It has more surface area.
Why can't I buy 4X powdered sugar any more?
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.
Powdered mg reacts morre rapidly than strip of mg?
true, because of more surface area
