Question

On dissolving sugar in water at room temperature solution feels cool to touch. Under which of the following cases dissolution of sugar will be most rapid ?

A. Sugar crystals in cold water
B. Sugar crystals in hot water
C. Powdered sugar in cold water
D. Powdered sugar in hot water  
Answer :   Powdered sugar in hot water
Solution :
Powdered sugar has large surface area and thus, dissolves faster in hot water. As solution feels cool to touch, dissolution is endothermic so, dissolution will be favoured at high temperature.
