Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water.

Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules.

In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules.

Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.

Do sugar cubes dissolve better in a hot place?

They will dissolve much quicker in warm or hot water than in cold water.


Does salt dissolve quicker than sugar?

No, sugar has a melting point of 161 degrees Celsius and salt has a melting point of 801 degrees Celsius


What can you infer about the size of a sugar particles that can dissolve in a mixture of sugar and water?

The size of sugar particles that can dissolve in water is generally smaller than that of visible grains of sugar. The smaller the particle size, the quicker the sugar will dissolve due to increased surface area contact with the water molecules.


Does sugar dissolve quicker in tap water than salt water?

Yes- this is because tap water is largely already unsaturated, making the sugar easier to dissolve. Salt water already has had salt dissolved into it, therefore making the water dissolve sugar more easily when it has had nothing else saturated into it. Hope that this helps! X


Why salt dissolve faster in hot water than in cold water?

salt dissolve quicker in hot water because it practicaly melts the salt there fore making it quicker to dissolve.


What dissolves quicker in water one gram of cube sugar or one gram of caster sugar?

Caster sugar dissolves quicker in water than cube sugar due to its finer granules and larger surface area, allowing for faster dissolution. Cube sugar, on the other hand, has a more compact structure that takes longer to break down in water.


When preparing cordial should you use hot or cold water to dissolve the sugar?

Use cold water. Using hot water means you need to wait for it to cool. It also means that - because of the way solubility works - you might not add enough water. If you want the sugar to dissolve quicker, stir it.


What effect does crushing sugar have on solution rate?

Crushing sugar into smaller particulates INCREASES the rate at which the sugar will dissolve because the water can act on a larger overall surface area.


What does the pH have to be to dissolve something?

Well it could be any pH because water which has a pH of 7(neutral) can dissolve things for example sugar. But if it is more acidic (a lower pH) it will probably dissolve things quicker.


Why does sugar take less time to dissolve in hot water?

Heat invariably speeds up reactions. Heat is actually kinetic energy at the molecular level, so in this case, it dissolves quicker because water molecules are colliding more (and with more force) with the sugar cube.


What is the maximum amount of sugar that will dissolve in 100ml water?

204g of sugar is the maximum amount of sugar that will dissolve into 100mL of water.


How does surface area effect solubility?

As the surface area of a solute increases, so does its solubility. This is because there is more area for the solvent to contact the solute and thus the solvent is able to interact with more of the solute at one time and dissolve it quicker. Think about a cube of sugar and a sheet of sugar, each the same mass. The sheet will dissolve quicker in water because so much of it is already interacting with the water molecules. The cube will not dissolve as fast because there are still molecules of sugar on the inside of the cube that will have to wait to interact with the water molecules.
