In a Solution i.e your tea, only so much sugar can Dissolve. If you put loads of sugar into your tea, it can become a saturated solution. This means that the excess molecules of the sugar have no more room to dissolve into the tea, therefore it just sets at the bottom like sand.
More Information:
It is possible that enough sugar was added to the tea to saturate it, at which point no more sugar would dissolve, but that takes a lot of sugar. So, it is more likely that more time was needed for the sugar to dissolve. This process can be hastened by inverting the sugar (by adding a bit of lemon juice and/or corn syrup [glucose])

∙ 10y agoSome sugar will not dissolve if you put too much in the tea. The tea doesn't have "enough room" to absorb any more.

When no more sugar will dissolve in a glass of water the solution is?
Assuming that all of the sugar that could be dissolved, is dissolved at that temperature and pressure, it would be a super saturated solution.
How do you make a SOLUTE?
all you have to do is add sugar into boiling water. the sugar will dissolve and make saturated sugar!!
How can you separate salt and sugar already dissolve in water?
It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.
Do sugar cubes dissolve faster in bottled water or tap water?
Assuming that bottled water is purer than tap water, has less ions etc, and that both volumes are the same, then sugar cubes would dissolve faster in bottled water. Thermodynamically there is less entropy in tap water than there is in purer water, so hydrogen bonding with sugar (which is polar) would be more favoured in bottled water.
Why might all the sugar NOT dissolve in a glass of lemonade?
Yes, the citric acidity almost breaks down the sugar particles, (despite a small amount of water that dilutes the lemon liquid). I hope this helps you in any way! Thank you.

Why does sugar not immediately dissolve when it is placed in water?
it is all about surface area. if you were to stir it the sugar crystals would have water on all sides, but when sitting in the bottom of a cup the water has to dissolve the crystals on the outside, and then it would keep going.
Which substances is soluble in water sand sugar oil glass?
Well- sand drops to the bottom, so insoluble. Sugar dissolves in water- warm water dissolves it quicker (coffee, tea), oil sits in layer on the top so does not dissolve. Glass- well luckily glass is insoluble in water so coke and stuff like that can be contained in glass bottles. A purist who measures solubility in atoms or molecules per litre would argue that that all of the insoluble substances dissolve too some extent.
What happens to dissolved sugar when the hot water cools?
After the water cools the sugar will remain dissolved, although once all of the water is evaporated then the sugar will be left at the bottom of the glass. It's pretty fun to try with a clear glass or something. P.S. Sugar will dissolve in cold water too, it just takes more stirring.
Suzy puts a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of unsweetened tea upon stirring all of the sugar dissolves suzy puts another teaspoon of sugar in the iced tea and stirs it some of the sugar sinks to the?
The rest of the sugar sinks to the bottom because the solvent has reached its capacity to dissolve the solute.

Are all solids equally soluble in the same solvent?
Absolutely not! Using gasoline as a solvent, wax dissolves in it but glass will not dissolve at all. Using water as a solvent, salt dissolves in it but pepper will not dissolve at all. Using hydrofluoric acid as a solvent, glass dissolves in it but wax will not dissolve at all.

Do sugar cubes dissolve faster crushed or whole in hot or cold?
I never heard of crushed water. Crushed ice (which sugar cubes don't dissolve in at all), but not crushed water. Let's see here: sugar dissolves faster in hot water than cold. And crushed sugar cubes, because the sugar has more surface area, dissolve faster than cold ones.
