If you put sugar cubes on ice tea does it melt or dessolve?

Sugar in something cold would dissolve, if you put sugar into something hot then it would melt and then dissolve.


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])


Do sugar cubes go in tea?

What is the solute when sugar is added to tea?

When sugar is added to tea, the sugar acts as the solute. In this solution, the tea serves as the solvent, which dissolves the sugar particles. The resulting mixture is a homogeneous solution where the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the tea.
