. A teaspoon of fine sugar is placed in Beaker A. A teaspoon of coarse sugar is placed in Beaker B. In which beaker will the sugar dissolve faster?(1 point)
Responses
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 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 A; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster

The correct response is:
Beaker A; because solutes with more surface area dissolve faster.
In this scenario, the fine sugar in Beaker A has a larger surface area compared to the coarse sugar in Beaker B. This larger surface area allows for more interactions with the water molecules, leading to faster dissolution of the fine sugar.
