Water is known as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve countless substances. The reason why only a certain amount sugar is dissolvable is because a water vessel has a finite number of molecules to "surround" or solvate the sugar. Once those molecules are overwhelmed the sugar grains come out of solution. Solubility is not unlimited after all even with such a strong solvent as water.

Why isn't sugar infinitely soluble in water?
Sugar is a polar molecule that can dissolve in water due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. However, there is a limit to how much sugar can dissolve in water because eventually the water molecules become unable to accommodate more sugar molecules, reaching a saturation point. This is influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure.
Why when you stir sugar dissolves?
When sugar is in water only so much can be dissolved when the maximum amount of sugar is dissolved the water become saturated. When the sugar is placed in the water the water immediately surrounding the sugar dissolves some of it and becomes saturated. Stirring brings unsaturated water into contact with the sugar which can then dissolve more of the sugar.
Does sugar dissolve differently in different liquids?
Yes, it depends how much sugar is in the liquid to begin with, the more sugar in the liquid to begin with, the slower the dissolving rate. This is because there is only so much space between the liquid particles for the sugar to go in.
What is the time on seconds for sugar to dissolve in zero degrees Celsius?
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.
Why do sugar cubes dissolve more slowly than granulated sugar?
Let's imagine the following objects first: Sugar cubes are solid blocks, each with a comparatively larger volume. Granulated sugar is fine and particulate, and each grain has a very small volume. It is only logical that when comparing one block of sugar to one grain of sugar, that the grain dissolves faster because it has a smaller volume (less to dissolve), and the surface area to volume ratio is much higher.
Why does icing sugar dissolve in water?
Only sugar is soluble in water.

Is a solvent liquid that dissolves sugar?
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.
Why when you stir sugar dissolves?

When the sugar is placed in the water the water immediately surrounding the sugar dissolves some of it and becomes saturated. Stirring brings unsaturated water into contact with the sugar which can then dissolve more of the sugar.
Do all SOLID partcles dissolved in WATER. why?
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.
Will hot or cold water make sugar dissolve faster?
Hot water will make sugar dissolve faster compared to cold water because the increased temperature causes the sugar molecules to move more rapidly and interact with the water molecules more effectively.
Why do sugar crystals do not grow good in cold water?
they cant dissolve in cold water so how would they grow ; they wont it is not possible only with warm water theyll dissolve but there still there
How do you remove sand and sugar?
Add water, and the sugar will dissolve leaving the sand as a solid. Filter that mixture and the sand will stay on the filter paper and the water and sugar will pass through. Evaporate the water, and you'll be left with sugar only.
Will cornstarch dissolve in water?
Yes, cornstarch can dissolve in water to form a mixture called a suspension. When stirred, the cornstarch particles disperse in the water but do not fully dissolve like sugar or salt would.
Why would all the sugar not dissolve in a glass of tea?
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])
Does sugar dissolve differently in different liquids?
Yes, it depends how much sugar is in the liquid to begin with, the more sugar in the liquid to begin with, the slower the dissolving rate. This is because there is only so much space between the liquid particles for the sugar to go in.
Why do small grains dissolve faster in water?
It mostly has to do with the interaction of the water molecules with the solute molecules. Smaller solute particles have an increased surface area with which to interact with the water molecules-hence they dissolve faster...
