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.

Powered sugar is just granulated sugar crushed into a powered form. The powder has more surface area and so it can stimulate more taste buds at one time making it taste sweeter.

∙ 13y agoGranulated sugar is easier to measure than brown sugar because brown sugar has a higher moisture content which causes it to clump together unevenly. By "packing" brown sugar into the measuring cup (pressing down so the sugar is firmly packed into the cup) air pockets are eliminated and one gets a dependable measurement.
Granulated sugar is dryer and flows freely without capturing air pockets.

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.
