Question

Predict what will be observed in experiment below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A: It is likely that more rock candy will be formed in batch A.

Explanation:

The difference between batch A and batch B is that batch A uses temperature to dissolve the sugar, while the dissolution of the sugar in batch B is produced at room temperature.

When he use temperature (hot water) to dissolve the sugar he is increasing the solubility of the sugar in the water, so in batch A we will have more quantity of sugar dissolved than in the batch B. The cooling of the solution at room temperature favors the formation of bigger sugar crystals in the process of crystallization.

From all of the above, the correct predicted observation is the option A: It is likely that more rock candy will be formed in batch A, for the increase of the solubility by the use of hot water. Also, you say that Rock candy is formed when excess sugar is dissolved in hot water followed by crystallization.

I hope it helps you!
