Is white sugar heterogeneous?
No, white sugar is a pure substance composed of sucrose molecules and is considered a homogeneous substance because it has a uniform composition throughout.
What is the difference between a compound such a sucrose and a homogeneous mixture such as Gatorade?
Sucrose is a pure compound made up of specific elements in a fixed ratio (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), whereas Gatorade is a homogeneous mixture of various compounds dissolved in water. Sucrose has a fixed chemical structure, while Gatorade can vary in composition depending on the flavor and electrolytes added.
What is sucrose's electronegativity?
The electronegativity of sucrose is not determined by the sucrose molecule itself, but rather by the individual atoms that make up sucrose. Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, each with their own electronegativity values. The overall electronegativity of sucrose is a weighted average of the electronegativities of these individual atoms.
Is sucrose metal?
Sucrose is an organic chemical compound.
Is Sucrose soluble in water because the attractive forces between the solute particles are greater than the attractive forces between the solute and the solvent particles?
You've got it in reverse. When sucrose dissolves in water, sucrose is the solute, and water is the solvent. In order to dissolve, sucrose molecules have to be more attracted to water molecules than they are to other sucrose molecules. If the attraction of sucrose to sucrose was greater than the attraction of sucrose to water, then there would be no reason for the solid sucrose to turn into the aqueous sucrose solution. Sucrose molecules would simply remain firmly attached to each other if that were the case.
