Which statement explains why sugar dissolves easily in water, but sand does not? Sugar has a greater buoyant force than sand. Sugar has a greater conductivity than sand. Sugar has a greater hardness than sand. Sugar has a greater solubility than sand.
Sugar dissolves easily in water, but sand does not because sugar has greater solubility than sand.
A solution is made by mixing a substance (solute) in a medium (solvent). The chemical property of the solute that describes how easily the solute will dissolve in a given solvent is known as its solubility.
The greater the solubility of a solute the more easily it dissolves in a solvent.
The solubility of different solutes varies from each other and, also varies from one solvent to another.
If we compare sugar and sand then sugar has more solubility in water as compared to sand and, is able to dissolve more quickly and easily.
