Does a sugar cube have a greater surface area than sugar crystals?

depends on the two objects!


Why can two four sugar polysaccharides be different even if both consist of two glucose monomers and two galactose monomers?

They can be arranged in different ways - for example, in a different order, or even a straight chain vs. forked (I am not quite sure whether this is possible with sugar monomers).


Which has greater surface area a sugar cube or an equal mass of sugar crystals?

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.


Is sugar a count noun?

What type of crystal does sugar form?

Sugar forms crystals that are typically monoclinic in shape, which means they have a rectangular or elongated prism shape with slanted edges. These crystals can vary in size and are commonly found in granulated sugar or sugar cubes.


What would react more quickly in a chemical reaction a single sugar cube or an equal mass of sugar crystals?

Granulated sugar. With a sugar cube, only the sugar on the six faces of the cube can react; the sugar WITHIN the cube is surrounded only by other sugar molecules. Ground-up, or "granulated" sugar has thousands of faces, so it can all react at once.


What would react more quickly in a chemical reaction a single cube or an equal mass of granulated sugar crystals?

Granulated sugar crystals would react more quickly in a chemical reaction compared to a single cube, as the smaller surface area of the cube would limit the interactions between the reacting substances. The granulated sugar crystals have more exposed surface area, allowing for faster reactions.

Will sugar crystals grow in soda?

Sugar crystals are suspended in the carbonated liquid. The only way that the crystals will accumulate is through evaporation and condensation. Open a can of soda and it will over a variable amount of time grow sugar crystals.
