ONLY REALLY SMART PEOPLE CAN ANSWER this???

Question

o.k.

so many people drink iced tea and hot tea with sugar to enhance the flavor. Explain any differences in the rate of solution of sugar in the two types of tea. If a cube of sugar was used to sweeten iced tea instead of granulated sugar, what could you do to sweeten the tea quicker? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

"more quickly" not "quicker" is the correct grammar.  how's that for smart?

Answer 2

Use the granulated. It doesn't have to dissolve!!

ET

Answer 3

to sweeten tea quicker ..buy tea with the sugar IN IT

Answer 4

i don`t know.!

Answer 5

ONLY REALLY STUPID PEOPLE, WOULD ASK THIS?

Answer 6

i use instant and it should be shaken not stirred   cjhs

Answer 7

If you were going to use a cube of sugar to sweeten the tea, but wanted to sweeten it faster, crush up the cube first. If the cube is crushed it will have more surface area and dissolve faster. Almost all chemical reactions can be sped up by increasing either the surface area or the temperature

Answer 8

as some one already said..stop trying to b a smart *** and trying to trick us into answering your home work question, by saying something like " only really smart people can answer this" this is truely pathetic, if u want help, you should ask for help. not b pretentious like this.

Answer 9

My first reaction was to agree wholeheartedly with "Ms." People who help others with homework are being constructive.  People who do others homework for them are being accomplices in fraud. Your passing others work off as being your own. Not far different from forging someones signature on a check, which will land you in jail in real life.

Having said that, ask yourself what heat does to things.  It changes them, doesn't it?  It turns a rock hard potato into something you can easily push a fork through. Heat breaks down the molecular structure.

Another way to break down the molecular structure is to apply physical force, as one might by whacking a steak with a tenderizer.

What physical force might be applied to a sugar cube when no heat is available to assist the dissolving process?

Answer 10

it doesn't matter if it's in a cube or loose, it's still sugar.....the only way to make it sweeter faster is to add more sugar at once....

Answer 11

Hot water would dissolve the sugar at a much quicker rate (its a property in chemistry). When a cube is used compared to granulated, the cube will dissolve at a much slower rate. This could be sped up by stirring the cube and trying to crush it up, but thats just turning it into granulated pretty much.

The ideal is granulated in hot tea (as is typical). The slowest would therefore be a cube in iced tea)

EDIT

I'm usually not fond of just answering the questions for people, but helping on this one. I'm a 10th grader in chemistry, so I'm very aware that I'm no expert on the matter

Answer 12

+2

thnx for da points

Answer 13

hot water makes the sugar dissolve faster (a warmer temperature dissolves sugar at a faster rate). you could stir the tea at a constant rate, crush the sugar cube, or add more sugar. thats all i no...

Answer 14

I think really smart people would realize that you should do your own homework.  That's how we all got really smart.

Answer 15

Hot water will allow a solid to dissolve faster. It has to do with how the molecules speed up with heat. So sugar will dissolve in hot tea faster than in iced tea.

A cube of sugar will take longer to dissolve ,in hot tea or iced tea, than a packet of sugar. There is more surface area for a packet of sugar that is exposed to the dissolving agent. The cube has a lot sugar that is not exposed to the dissolving agent until the outer crystals are dissolved.
