When you mix sugar into water in a beaker, the sugar is no longer visible. What happens in the beaker? A. The sugar changes state from solid to gas. B. The sugar reacts with the water to make a new substance. C. The sugar dissolves in the water. D. The sugar is destroyed by the water.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking what occurs when sugar is mixed with water, particularly focusing on the physical changes rather than chemical reactions. The options provided suggest different types of changes that could happen.
Answer
The sugar dissolves in the water.
The sugar dissolves in the water.
Answer for screen readers
The sugar dissolves in the water.
More Information
When sugar is added to water, it dissolves, forming a homogeneous solution. This process is a physical change, where sugar particles disperse in water, but retain their chemical identity.
Tips
A common mistake is to think the sugar undergoes a chemical reaction or forms a new substance. Dissolving is purely a physical change, not a chemical one.
