Question

If you put a sugar cube in hot tea does it dissolve or melt and why?

Answer 1

If you put a sugar cube in hot tea it will dissolve because the heat from the tea will make the sugar cube deform and the sugar from the sugar would mix/dissolve or sink to the bottom of the tea.

Answer 2

The molecules in the sugar dissolved in water. it did not dissociate though, just dissolved. the atoms in each individual molecule stayed in tact, but the intermolecular forces broke apart.
