How does the temperature of a liquid effect how much sugar will dissolve?

I assume that you mean 'dissolves in water'.
The answer is yes, very much so.
The higher the temperature of the water, the quicker the sugar dissolves.
The reason for this is very simple. As the temperature increases, water molecules move more quickly as they have more energy. They are therefore more likely to collide with and 'attack' the sugar crystals, causing sugar molecules to separate from each crystal and disperse throughout the water forming a sugar solution.

∙ 13y agoSugar will dissolve more easily in hot water than cold water. Also, hot water is capable of holding more dissolved sugar than cold water. You can make 'rock candy' which is basically sugar crystals, by heating up water, adding sugar until it is saturated (no more will dissolve) then put a small stick or string in the water and as it cools, the sugar crystals will form on the string, as they can no longer remain dissolved as the temperature cools.

What is the fastest way to dissolve a sugar cube in what liquid?
hot water
What is the word to describe the effect when no more sugar will dissolve in a solution?
Saturation
Does temp affect how much salt or sugar can be dissolved in water?
No, it will all dissolve eventually until no more can be added to the water, which is called saturation where it will start to settle in the bottom of the container after a certain amount of solute is added. But it does dissolve faster in hot water.
How does a solid dissolve into a liquid?
a solid dissolves into a liquid because of the free inter molecular spaces in between the molecules of the liquid or the solvent......... for example if we dissolve sugar in water and stirr the water , the sugar dissapears . this happens because the molecules of water are not yery closely placed and the sugarparticles go and fit inside the molecular spaces.......
Why does a sugar substitute that dissolves when a drink is hot stay at the bottom of the cup when it cools down?
The higher the temperature of a liquid, the more of a substance it can dissolve. So when a liquid cools back down, often some of the dissolved particles re-form into solid and precipitate out of the solution. This applies to sugar substitute as it does to any other substance. Just like regular sugar dissolves in your coffee better when your coffee is hot.
How does temperature effect the rate od dissolving sugar?
it makes it faster to dissolve
Why is sugar not a liquid?
Icing sugar is a solid.
Which will dissolve faster in liquids salt or sugar?
Sugar should dissolve faster in a liquid.
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.
What makes sugar cubes dissolve?
Liquid
How do you purify sugar water?
you evaporate the water and it leaves sugar as a liquid
What is meant by saying that sugar is a soulble?
It can dissolve in a liquid (water)
Can sugar dissolve in tap water after a period of time?
What temperature is the tap water? A little will dissolve in room temperature tap water, but if you raise the temperature of the water more sugar will dissolve. If you boil the sugar, it will break down into two simpler sugars and won't precipitate when the water is cooled.
What happens when you mix water and sugar?
The sugar will dissolve in the water, changing the sugar from solid to liquid.
The coffee cream and sugar will dissolve readily in cold water why or why not?
As temperature decreases, the rate of dissolution or solubility decreases. so sugar will dissolve slowly in cold water than water at room temperature. Sugar will dissolve faster in hot water.
Why does a sugar cube melts in hot tea?
because hot liquid makes sugar dissolve
How would you dissolve the remaining sugar?
By heating the solute (Liquid in which it is to be dissolved)
