A) No. Crushed or cubed does not matter. B) Yes. Crushing the cube results in more sugar in the water. C) Yes. Crushing the sugar cube provides more contact between the sugar and water. D) No. The particle size does not matter as long as she stirs the mixture of sugar and water.

The answer is c , because the smaller the particles the less time it takes to dissolve

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Crushing the cubes before mixing it is a good suggestion because this will lead to increase in the number of particles. Hence, more is the number of solute particles more will be the interaction between the molecules of solute and solvent.

As a result, more will be the rate of reaction which means that when solute is added into the solvent after crushing it then it will readily dissolve into the solvent.

Thus, we can conclude that crushing the cubes before mixing is a good suggestion because crushing the sugar cube provides more contact between the sugar and water.
