Beaker A and Beaker B both contain water at 20°C. A teaspoon of sugar is placed in each beaker. Beaker A is stirred while Beaker B is not. In which beaker will the sugar dissolve faster?(1 point) Responses Beaker B; because solutes dissolve faster in agitated water Beaker B; because solutes dissolve faster in agitated water Beaker B; because solutes dissolve faster in still water Beaker B; because solutes dissolve faster in still water Beaker A; because solutes dissolve faster in agitated water Beaker A; because solutes dissolve faster in agitated water Beaker A; because solutes dissolve faster in still water

The correct response is: Beaker A; because solutes dissolve faster in agitated water.

When Beaker A is stirred, the agitation helps to distribute the sugar particles more evenly throughout the water, which increases the interaction between the sugar and water molecules, leading to faster dissolution. In contrast, Beaker B, where the water is still, will see a slower rate of dissolution as the sugar molecules might not come into contact with water as efficiently.
