Why does 1g of
sugar as small crystals dissolve faster than 1g as big
crystals?
Why do sugar crystals
dissolve faster at higher temperatures?
Look at the animation
again. Notice that some sugar particles are returning.
If 50 sugar particles leave and 20 sugar particles return
every second, what is the overall rate of dissolving?
How would stirring
affect the rate at which sugar particles leave the surface
of the crystals?
So how can stirring
speed up the rate of dissolving?
