Answer the following questions in complete sentences.
1. What is the quickest way to dissolve sugar in water? Can sugar dissolve in all solvents?
The finer the sugar the faster it'll dissolve because you're increasing the surface area, use hot
water, solubility increases with temperature, add more water, sugar dissolves faster in a larger
volume of water. Sugar is soluble in water but insoluble in vegetable oil. Therefore it does not
dissolve in all solvents.
2. List the factors that affect solubility of a solid that is being dissolved in a liquid and
explain each one.
3. Give an example on how each of the factors are used around the house.
