Question
I am making some of my grandmother's rice krispy treats using peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar. I need to dissolve the sugar in the corn syrup; which of the following is true?
A.Decreasing the pressure above the corn syrup will help the sugar dissolve. B.Decreasing the temperature of the corn syrup will help the sugar dissolve. C.Increasing the temperature of the corn syrup will help the sugar dissolve. D.none of the above E.Increasing the pressure above the corn syrup will help the sugar dissolve.Explanation / Answer
As the ingradients are in the liquid and solid state, change in pressure will not have much effect on dissolution. It is our everyday experience that sugat dissolves easily in hot coffee than cold one. This indicates that dissolution of sugar is an endothermic process. Hence Increasing the temperature of the corn syrup will help the sugar to dissolve. Thus option c is the most appropriate one.
