Sugar (or Sucrose) molecules are polar. They have a slight positive end and a slightly negative end. Water molecules have the same property. For this reason, the positive end of a sucrose molecule will be attracted to the negative end of a water molecule and dissolve.
Alcohols are non-polar and are equally charged on all sides. The charged ends of the sucrose have nothing to be attracted to except other SUCROSE molecules, therefore they will not dissolve.
However benzoic acid is also a polar molecule, but through heat (200 degress F) can bond with alcohol and create a solution...
What else can I help you with?
Is benzoic acid or sucrose more soluble in water?
Sucrose is more soluble in water than benzoic acid. Sucrose is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, increasing its solubility. Benzoic acid, while also polar, has a benzene ring which reduces its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water, making it less soluble.
What is dissolved in alcohol?
Various substances can dissolve in alcohol, including sugars, flavorings, chemicals, medications, and minerals. This property makes alcohol a commonly used solvent for extracting and preserving different compounds in fields like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
When sugar is dissolved in water is it solute or solvent?
The sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent. Whatever is dissolved is the solute, and whatever the solute is dissolved in is the solvent. The solvent dissolves the solute.
When sugar is dissolved in water water is called a?
When sugar is dissolved in water, water is called a SOLVENT
What does dissolved sugar look like when mixed with water?
When sugar is dissolved in water, it appears as a clear, transparent solution with no visible sugar particles.
How can separate salt and sugar?
added alcohol to the mixture.. sugar is an organic compound having carbon atom. it can be easily dissolved.. but salt cannot be dissolved in alcohol.
What dissolves in alcohol?
Sugar Is dissolved in alcohol
What form of sugar most readily changes into alcohol?
sugar dissolved in water would be the best form to make alcohol.
Is benzoic acid or sucrose more soluble in water?
Sucrose is more soluble in water than benzoic acid. Sucrose is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, increasing its solubility. Benzoic acid, while also polar, has a benzene ring which reduces its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water, making it less soluble.
Is tea with sugar a homogeneous mixture?
Iced tea, with sugar completely dissolved in it, is an example of homogeneous matter
Brine is to salt as punch is to .?
Brine is salt dissolved in water; Punch is alcohol dissolved in water - therefore "Brine is to salt as punch is to alcohol."
What is dissolved in alcohol?
Various substances can dissolve in alcohol, including sugars, flavorings, chemicals, medications, and minerals. This property makes alcohol a commonly used solvent for extracting and preserving different compounds in fields like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Can you get dissolved sugar back if it is in tea?
No, once sugar is dissolved in tea, it becomes part of the liquid and cannot be separated back out as solid sugar.
Is sugar dissolved in water a compound or element?
Sugar dissolved in water is a mixture. The sugar molecule is a compound (composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms), while water is also a compound (composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms). When sugar is dissolved in water, it forms a homogeneous mixture known as a solution.
Why is it easier to remove the ice cubes from cold lemonade than it is to remove sugar?
Because sugar is a soluble and it was already dissolved in the lemonade. You could evaporate the lemonade and get the sugar then, but you could've easily taken out the ice cubes already because they aren't dissolved yet and are solid still.
As you cannot purchase corn syrup or liquid glucose for a cake you want to make what alternative can you use?
.......Sugar Syrup Equal parts Sugar and Water - heat until Sugar has dissolved then cool.
Can sugar turn back to it's normal size as a cube after it has been dissolved in water?
No, once sugar has been dissolved in water, it has undergone a physical change and dispersed into the water molecules. It cannot revert back to its original sugar cube form by simply allowing the water to evaporate.
