Question

• Maneka added a teaspoon of sugar each in two glasses of water. She stirred one of the glasses and kept the other glass still. What do you think happened in the other glass after twenty minutes. Explain why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Even the sugar in the other glass would be dissolved because sugar dissolves in water because energy is given off when the slightly polar sucrose molecules form intermolecular bonds with the polar water molecules. The weak bonds that form between the solute and the solvent compensate for the energy needed to disrupt the structure of both the pure solute and the solvent.
