Does the sixe of the sugar crystal affect the dissolving rate?why?

Question

help me!!!!!!!

Answer 1

While the sugar is still dissolving, the more area the faster it dissolves, so the larger lump will release more sugar per second into solution than a smaller one.

HOWEVER, if you used more than enough sugar to make a saturated solution, you will eventually reach equilibrium. Once this happens, the solution is saturated. This means that the rate at which sugar goes into solution will equal the rate at which it comes out, so the overall process will come to a stop and the concentration of the saturated solution will not depend at all on the amount of solid sugar left over.
