What dissolves faster in hot water sugar lumps or granulated sugar?

Answer 1

My experience is the finer the grain, the quicker it dessolves. Make some scientific sense too as, to dissolve, it must be broken down. So if the solute (sugar) is already partially broken down mechanically, there's less "work" for the solvent (the liquid you are dissolving it into) in creating the solution. So, powered sugar.

Answer 2

If all other variables, such as the temperature of the water and agitation are the same, the granules will dissolve faster because there is a larger surface area exposed to the solvent. Sugar cubes will quickly absorb water or coffee but, because the interior of the cube restricts movement, as the concentration of sugar in solution inside the cube rises, the rate of dissolving will decrease. Thismechanism also exists in a pile of granules at the bottom of the cup but it is not so pronounced. Sugar cubes are made so that the amount of sugar can be measured with some degree of precision.

Answer 3

Granulated sugar --- The more surface area created, the faster the sugar will be dissolve. Try putting powdered sugar in hot water.

Answer 4

Powdered sugar dissolves faster than a big crystal of sugar because more surface area is exposed to the solvent, presumably water.

Answer 5

Probable brown sugar (because it is imputre) but the difference is not significant.

Answer 6

Sugar cubes the fastest
