Question 12 • TX-Chemistry B-Credit Recovery Summer School

Which contributes to the dissolution of sugar in water?

Answer
A
the dissociation of an ionic compound in water
B
a strong pull of water molecules on an ionic compound
C
the dissociation of a polar covalent compound in water
D
a strong pull of water molecules on a polar covalent compound

Explanation

Sugar is a polar covalent substance, and water molecules are polar too. Water attracts sugar molecules, helping separate and surround them as they dissolve. Sugar does not dissociate into ions in water, so the correct choice is “a strong pull of water molecules on a polar covalent compound.”
