does the amount of sugar that is able to be dissolved depend on the temperature?

Answer 1

Yes, many substances (sugar included) have a temperature dependent solubility.
At higher temperatures, more sugar will dissolve in water than at lower temperatures.


*Note (in responce to another user), ionic compounds are extremely polar....so polar in fact that they are ionic. Ionic bonding is jut a very intense polar bond....so much so that no longer are electrons simply "shared" between atoms, but some electrons have for all intensive purposes been removed from one atom and placed around another.

Water, being a polar solvent, will dissolve polar and ionic solutes.

Answer 2

In the case of sugars (all types) the answer is yes, the hotter the water the more material will dissolve. The effect is much less noticeable for other materials (such as table salt). I believe that sugars exhibit this phenomenon because they are built from polar molecules (just as water molecules), while salt dissolves into positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions, which are nonpolar.

Answer 3

If all other conditions are kept stable... yes.

The reason why hot water dissolves more sugar than cold water is because the water molecules in hot water have more energy and vibrate more than cold water. This vibration makes them more active, which in turn makes them surround more sugar molecules. And the more the sugar molecules are surrounded with water, the more they'll be dissolved.

Answer 4

Yeah, as you increase the temperature, the solubility of the sugar goes up.

Answer 5

yes, the hotter the water, the more sugar will dissolve in it
the colder water gets - sugar crystals will re form and settle to the bottom

Answer 6

Yes.. sugar disolves much faster in heated temperatures than in cold liquid.. the hoter the better.

Answer 7

Yes. Heated water can hold more than cold water.
