The speed at which something dissolves is a function of its surface area. A spoon of sugar and a sugar cube may have the same mass, but the tiny crystals in the spoon of sugar have a cumulative surface area much larger than that of the cube.
When a sugar cube is not stirred, the surface area exposed to the solvent is limited, which slows down the rate of dissolution. Stirring increases the contact between the sugar cube and the solvent, allowing the sugar molecules to dissolve more quickly.
Yes, a sugar cube can dissolve in water. When placed in water, the sugar cube breaks down into individual sugar molecules due to the interactions between the water molecules and the sugar molecules, causing the sugar cube to disappear into the water.
The sugar cube will dissolve in the warm water as it is soluble. Stirring will help to speed up the dissolving process by increasing the contact between the water and the sugar cube. Eventually, the sugar will completely dissolve in the water, resulting in a sweet solution.
You can improve the solubility of a sugar cube in water by crushing the sugar cube into smaller pieces to increase the surface area exposed to the water, stirring or agitating the solution to help the sugar dissolve faster, and heating the water to increase its ability to dissolve the sugar.
Granulated sugar has a larger surface area than a sugar cube, allowing the water to come in contact with more sugar particles, leading to faster dissolution. Additionally, the structure of a sugar cube is more compact, slowing down the rate at which the water can penetrate and dissolve the sugar.
Yes, cube sugar typically takes longer to dissolve in warm water compared to granulated sugar. This is because the larger surface area of granulated sugar allows it to dissolve more quickly due to increased contact with the water molecules. Cube sugar, on the other hand, has a smaller surface area, which slows down the dissolution process.

It's no longer solid and it turns grainy! :)

Water is the chemical that dissolves a sugar cube. The water molecules surround the sugar molecules and break the bonds holding them together, causing the sugar cube to dissolve.
A sugar cube is made up of the smaller crystals of sugar, so the molecule is smaller.
depense on the size of the cube

no
that depends on the quantity of water and the size of the sugar cube .......if i am correct
solubility generally increases on heating. so sugar cube in boiling water will dissolve fastest.
