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])

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.


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.


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.


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!!


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.


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.


Does sugar dissolve faster than salt when all other variables are the same?

Sugar dissolves in a liquid faster than salt does. The reason is that sugar is less dense as a solute than salt is, leading to it dissolving in the solvent faster as it would fit into the 'empty gaps' that the solvent has at a much faster rate, which is how substances dissolve.


How can sugar be separated from a mixture of sand and sugar?

Pour the mixture into enough water that all the sugar will dissolve. Sand does not dissolve in water, so the sand will settle to the bottom of the solution and then you can sift the sand out of the solution. Then you will just have sand and sugar water, which can evaporate, leaving the sugar behind in the container.


Do sugar cubes dissolve faster in bottled water or tap water?

Sugar cubes dissolve faster in tap water as compared to bottled water. Tap water typically contains more impurities and dissolved solids, which can help break down the sugar cubes more quickly. Bottled water usually has fewer impurities and dissolved solids, leading to a slower dissolution rate.


What will happen to a glass of water when added sugar?

The stirring increases the collisions between solvent and solute particles so the solute (sugar) molecules become decomposed in a short time....
