Beaker A; because solutes with less surface area dissolve faster
Beaker A; because solutes with less surface area dissolve faster

Beaker B; because solutes with less surface area dissolve faster
Beaker B; because solutes with less surface area dissolve faster

Beaker B; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster
Beaker B; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster

Beaker A; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**Beaker A; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster.**

Fine sugar has more surface area exposed to the water compared to coarse sugar, allowing it to dissolve more quickly.
