Question

If you are given a piece of rock sugar about 2.5 cm in diameter, describe three steps you can take to dissolve it in a beaker of water in the shortest time.​

Answer 1

1. Crush the sugar into powder.

2. Heat the water.

3. Dissolve it by stirring continuously

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Crushing the sugar into powder increases surface area. So it increases the changes of dissolving

2. Heating the water increases the capacity of water to dissolve sugar.

3. Stirring continuously increases randomness of particles so eases mixing up thus increasing dissolving tendency.
