When you add sugar (solute) into the tea (solvent) it mixes together to make a solution (when a solute/sugar, mixes into a solvent/tea.)

The particles in the tea will start breaking up the sugar molecules. This is called dissolving, that is when a solute will mixes and disappear into a solvent.

When a teaspoon of sugar is added to a cup of tea it does not overflow whyexplain using osmosis?

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. When sugar is added to tea, it dissolves and increases the solute concentration in the tea. This causes water to move from the tea into the sugar solution, which maintains the overall volume of liquid and prevents overflow.


What happens when you drop a sugar cube into a hot mug of tea?

using diffusion what might happen when you drop a sugar cube into a mug of tea. For the sugar cube ,since the sugar cube is source, the molecules will diffuse into the hot water the sugar cube will despair


What is the chemical reaction that happens when sugar dissolves in tea?

When sugar dissolves in tea, the sucrose molecules break apart into glucose and fructose due to the water molecules in the tea. This process is a physical change, not a chemical reaction, as the chemical composition of the sugar molecules remains the same.


Why do you stir iced tea after you put sugar in it?

We stir iced tea to dissolve the sugar because the added friction helps to break the sugar molecules apart.


Use diffusion to explain what happens when you drop a sugar cube into a mug of hot tea?

The cube is high in concentration and when it dissolves it be comes low in concentration. It diffuses: molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Hope this helps, It was on my homework too.

Why tea gets cooled when sugar is added to it?

When sugar is added to hot tea, it dissolves and disrupts the liquid's structure, leading to a change in the thermal conductivity. The process of dissolving sugar absorbs some heat from the tea, resulting in a decrease in temperature. Additionally, the increased concentration of solute (sugar) can enhance heat transfer to the surrounding environment, further cooling the tea.
