Suppose you added a spoonful of sugar to hot water and another to ice-cold water. Which type of water will cause the sugar to dissolve more quickly?

hot water
ice-cold water

1 answer

The sugar will dissolve more quickly in hot water. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy to the water molecules, causing them to move faster. As a result, the water molecules can more effectively break apart the sugar molecules and surround them, facilitating a quicker dissolution process. In contrast, ice-cold water has slower-moving molecules, which makes it less efficient at dissolving substances like sugar.
