No, a solvent can dissolve many things and not necessarily just sugar. Water is a solvent and also a liquid and can dissolve sugar, However, it can also dissolve many other things.
Only sugar is soluble in water.
No, sugar is not soluble in hexane. This is because sugar is considered hydrophilic, so it will only dissolve in something that contains water.
It isn't really a matter of what would dissolve first, as it is which dissolves faster. Both would dissolve at the same time, but the sugar would dissolve faster, and in higher quantities. Sugar has a solubility of 211.5 g/100 mL of water where salt only is ~37 g/ 100 mL. Sugar still dissolves faster even though apple juice has 10.8 g of sugar per 100 mL, since the solubility is as high as it is, sugar would dissolve first.
Sugar shouldn't dissolve any faster or slower in 0 degrees, it will dissolve at its natural half life. Only heat would speed up the process not cold. So, I don't know what the half life of sugar is but if you find out, there's your answer.
In a Solution i.e your tea, only so much sugar can Dissolve. If you put loads of sugar into your tea, it can become a saturated solution. This means that the excess molecules of the sugar have no more room to dissolve into the tea, therefore it just sets at the bottom like sand.More Information:It is possible that enough sugar was added to the tea to saturate it, at which point no more sugar would dissolve, but that takes a lot of sugar. So, it is more likely that more time was needed for the sugar to dissolve. This process can be hastened by inverting the sugar (by adding a bit of lemon juice and/or corn syrup [glucose])
it only takes about 3 minutes to dissolve sugar in hot to boiling water. When it could take about a hour for cold water.
Yes. You could try melting it over a Bunsen burner - the sugar will melt readily whereas the salt will not. You could also try dissolving the substance in alcohol. The salt will dissolve only very slightly, but the sugar will dissolve readily.
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
No. Only solid stuff with special chemicals in them dissolve, like sugar and salt. Notice that things only dissolve in warm water, and never ice water. Example: If you put sand in water, it doesn't dissolve.
Put 1 teaspoon sugar and 19 spoonfuls of water (a common eating spoon) in a small bowl mix it &let it dissolve. Then get a tiny piece of cloth, that you can use only for your butterfly, and soak it in the sugar water. Set the butterfly near it.
