Sugar and water are made with tiny particles. They are both made from molecules and atoms.
A logarithmic scale is a nonlinear scale used when there is a large range of quantities

are needed.
Explanation:
Use the following equation:
q
=
m
c
Δ
T
,
where:
q
is heat energy,
m
is mass,
c
is specific heat capacity, and
Δ
T
is the change in temperature.
