Question 22 • Chemistry

Under which conditions will sugar most likely dissolve fastest in a cup of water?

Answer
A
sugar crystals without stirring at 5 times degree C
B
a sugar cube without stirring at 15 times degree C
C
sugar crystals with stirring at 15 times degree C
D
a sugar cube with stirring at 5 times degree C

Explanation

Sugar dissolves faster in warmer water, when the water is stirred, and when the sugar has more exposed surface area. Choice C combines stirring and the higher temperature of 15°C, and sugar crystals expose more surface area than a single cube. Therefore, the sugar crystals with stirring at 15°C will dissolve fastest.
