Reggie has a sample of raw sugar made up of large particles and a sample of white sugar made up of much smaller particles. He dissolved 1 tsp. of each sample in 1 cup of water. Which dissolved fastest?

a) Both dissolved at the same rate
b) The white sugar dissolved slowly, and the raw sugar dissolved quickly
c) The white sugar dissolved quickly, and the raw sugar dissolved slowly
d) The white sugar dissolved quickly, and the raw sugar did not dissolve.

think the answer would be option C. Am I correct?

I think C. too SO i agree

Group of answer choices

A.The white sugar dissolved quickly, and the raw sugar dissolved slowly.

b.The white sugar dissolved quickly, and the raw sugar did not dissolve.

C.Both dissolved at the same rate.

D.The white sugar dissolved slowly, and the raw sugar dissolved quickly.

Answer: A

I know that it was a i think

To determine which sugar dissolved fastest, we need to consider the particle size. Generally, dissolved substances have smaller particle sizes, as this increases the surface area available for the water molecules to interact with.

In this case, the white sugar sample consists of smaller particles, while the raw sugar sample is made up of larger particles. Based on this information, we can conclude that the white sugar dissolved more quickly than the raw sugar.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
c) The white sugar dissolved quickly, and the raw sugar dissolved slowly.

You get a much larger surface area with smaller particles, for the same mass. Dissolving depends on the larger surface area surface area exposed to the solvent.
