Which of the following would dissolve the slowest?

granulated sugar in hot tea

a cube of sugar in iced tea

1 answer

Among the options given, a cube of sugar in iced tea would dissolve the slowest.

This is because the larger surface area of granulated sugar allows it to dissolve more quickly compared to a cube, and the hot temperature of the tea increases the rate of dissolution. Iced tea is at a lower temperature, which further slows down the dissolution process for a cube of sugar.
