When sugar is melted, it undergoes a physical change from a solid crystalline structure to a viscous liquid. This transformation disrupts the orderly arrangement of sugar molecules, allowing them to move freely. Upon cooling, the liquid sugar can solidify again, but it may form an amorphous structure instead of returning to its original crystalline form, resulting in a different texture, such as that found in candy or caramel.

It is an amorphous solid. The sugar in peanut brittle is melted and then is cooled too fast for the crystalline structure to properly reform, making it irregular.

Caramel.


What happens to sugar when heated and cooled it?

When sugar is heated, it undergoes a process called caramelization, where it melts and transforms into a liquid, developing complex flavors and a golden-brown color. If heated further, it can break down into carbon and ash. When cooled, the melted sugar solidifies again, often forming a hard, glass-like structure. If cooled quickly, it can become brittle and crunchy, while slower cooling may result in a softer texture.


Is sugar melted a physical change?

Yes, because it doesn't change, it just changes states, so in essence it is still sugar

Why shouldn't you mix melted chocolate with powdered sugar for frosting?

it would be to sweet, and in which some people could not scarf it down.Additional information:Melted chocolate returns to solid form when cooled. So if melted chocolate were mixed with powdered sugar, when cool it would be very hard, not be the right consistency for frosting.


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.


Melting of butter can be change reversed back?

Yes, it can be brought back to solid by cooling. Because butter has only changed its state, which is a type of physical change. But some substances solids change their chemical composition instead of changing to liquid form, like Sugar. Sugar on heating turns red then black. Sugar cannot be brought back to its white solid form by cooling.


Is caramel and melted sugar the same thing?

No. Melted sugar is just what it sounds like sugar that has just been melted. Caramel is sugar that has reaches a temperature of f.320-350 (the caramel stage). Caramel also has added ingredients such as heavy cream and flavors.
