Think of the sugar solution as food for the live yeast. The yeast breaks down the sugar by alcoholic fermentation, a process that takes the sugar and breaks it into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide that forms can be seen by the naked eye...in the form of bubbles!

Does sugar form a colloid when mixed with water?

No, sugar forms a solution when mixed with water.


When sugar and salt are mixed together are what?

When sugar and salt are mixed together, they form a homogenous mixture called a solution. This means that the sugar and salt molecules are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, making it difficult to distinguish the individual components by sight.


Strength measurement of sugar solution using polarized light?

The strength of a sugar solution can be determined by measuring the rotation of polarized light passing through the solution using a polarimeter. Sugar molecules rotate the plane of polarized light, and the degree of rotation is proportional to the concentration of sugar in the solution. By measuring this rotation angle, the strength or concentration of the sugar solution can be calculated.


If 50 g water and 50 g sugar are mixed what is the solvent?

When sugar and water are mixed, the sugar dissolves in the water, therefore water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.


Why did you not observe a stream of bubbles coming off the stainless steel screw in the sugar solution?

The absence of bubbles on the stainless steel screw in the sugar solution can be attributed to the lack of a significant reaction between the metal and the solution. Stainless steel is generally resistant to corrosion and does not readily release gases in a sugar solution. Additionally, the sugar may create a viscous environment that inhibits the formation or movement of bubbles. Lastly, if the solution is saturated with sugar, it may not support gas solubility, further reducing the likelihood of bubble formation.
