What conclusion can be drawn about the solubility of sugar in different solvents?

Correct Answers

Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen, with oxygen being slightly negative and hydrogens slightly positive.
B. Surface tension
Water molecules are strongly attracted to each other, allowing the surface tension to counteract the gravity acting on the coin.
B. They cause high heat capacity
B. Due to stronger hydrogen bonds in water
Water surrounds the sodium and chloride ions, stabilizing them due to its partial charges, leading to dissolution.
B. Sugar dissolves in water due to polar bonds
A. Ionic bonds
Ice is less dense than liquid water due to the arrangement of molecules in a crystalline structure.
Water’s partial negative charge attracts the positive charge of sodium ions, while the partial positive charges attract chloride ions, breaking the ionic bond.
C. Its expansion upon freezing
Increased concentration of salt leads to saturation in water, limiting dissolved amounts.
B. Polar molecules
Oil is non-polar, while water is polar, leading to immiscibility.
Sugar dissolves well in water due to polar interactions, whereas it does not dissolve in oil due to lack of similar polar characteristics.
