A student is trying to decide between hot and iced coffee but refuses to drink it without a good amount of sweetener. If the student were to add sugar to 500mL of hot coffee, and separately to 500mL of iced coffee, which drink would dissolve more solid sugar before becoming saturated?
Hot Coffee, because a higher temperature leads to an increase in the sugar's aqueous solubility
Iced Coffee, because a lower temperature leads to an increase in the sugar's aqueous solubility
Hot Coffee, because a higher temperature decrease solute density making them easier to dissolve
Since they are both coffee, there is no difference in the amount of sugar they can hold at any temperature
Iced Coffee, because the melting ice inside the coffee increases the water content meaning more polar solvent water molecules to dissolve the sugar

The correct answer is Hot Coffee, because a higher temperature leads to an increase in the sugar's aqueous solubility.
