Consider this:
If a cube has side length d, then its volume is d3 and its surface area is 6d2.
If I cut the cube into 8 smaller cubes by bisecting each edge, then the new side length is d/2, the sum of the volume is 8 * ((d/2)3) = d3, and the surface area is 8 * (6(d/2)2) = 12d2.
Therefore, even though the volume stayed constant, the sum of the surface area increased when I cut a larger cube into small cubes. The increase in surface area will be larger and larger as the cube is cut into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore a sugar cube always has less surface area than an equal mass of sugar crystals.
Granulated sugar has more surface area than a sugar cube.
depends on the two objects!
it is the property of solid crystal that they have straight edges and flat faces.
Crystaline sugar (sucrose) has a refractive index of around 1.56. Sugar solutions can have refractive indices greater than this. Note, that the refractive index of a substance can even be determined for opaque substances. This is because the RI also determines reflective properties. So by measuring the amount of light reflected by light shining on a polished sample at a given angle, a refractive index can in principle be obtained.
To make praline, you will need equal parts of sugar and nuts (such as almonds or pecans). Start by heating the sugar in a saucepan until it melts and turns golden brown. Add the nuts to the pan and stir until they are evenly coated in the caramelized sugar. Pour the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and let it cool and harden before breaking it into pieces.
The noun sugar is an uncountable noun as a word for a substance (a syrup or granular substance). Units of sugar are expressed as a pound of sugar, a cup of sugar, a bag of sugar, etc.The noun sugar is a count noun as a word for 'types of' or 'kinds of' sugar, for example, The sugars we use are cane, corn, and honey.
The sugar crystals because there is a greater amount of surface area readily exposed for chemical reaction.

In a chemical reaction it is likely that a single cube will react more quickly than an equal mass of sugar crystals. This is due to the fact that the surface area of a single cube is much smaller than the total surface area of the sugar crystals. The larger surface area of the sugar crystals increases the amount of time it takes for the reactants to reach the surface and begin the reaction.The following points explain why a single cube would react more quickly than an equal mass of sugar crystals: A single cube has a much smaller surface area than an equal mass of sugar crystals. The smaller surface area of the single cube allows the reactants to reach the surface and begin the reaction more quickly. The larger surface area of the sugar crystals increases the amount of time it takes for the reactants to reach the surface and begin the reaction.In conclusion it is likely that a single cube will react more quickly than an equal mass of sugar crystals due to the larger surface area of the sugar crystals.
Coarse sugar is a sugar with greater crystals.
The granulated sugar would react more quickly, as it has more surface area to react in.
When the granules dimension of a material is lowered the surface area is increased and the reaction rate is higher.
The free flowing sugar crystals have more free surface area and shorter diffusion paths than a tightly packed cube. Thus chemistry and dissolution both occur faster. VERY fine sugar can explode if suspended in air.
From sugar monoclinic crystals.
Sugar Quartz is a gemstone with a natural surface texture much like fine sugar crystals formed by natural phenomena of micro-crystalline facets.
it is all about surface area. if you were to stir it the sugar crystals would have water on all sides, but when sitting in the bottom of a cup the water has to dissolve the crystals on the outside, and then it would keep going.
there is no air between molecules :))) in other words - the surface of burning is less :)
A reaction required the sugar in solid form being mobile in solution and since the sugar cube had a lot of pore and hidden surface area, the rate of dissolution would be faster and hence faster chemical reaction.
