Granulated sugar has a higher surface area than sugar cubes due to its smaller grain size, which allows for quicker dissolution in hot liquid like coffee. The increased surface area means more of the sugar is in contact with the liquid, speeding up the dissolution process compared to the denser sugar cubes.
A sugar cube will - one, sugar cubes are designed specifically to dissolve quickly into solvents such as tea, coffee, liquids to make solutions. Granulated sugar, on the other hand, is often a solute for solid solvents such as flour etc. However, the granulated sugar can be dissolved more quickly if stirred, which makes the solute particles attract to the solvent particles more efficiently.
Sugar cubes dissolve more slowly than granulated sugar because they have a smaller surface area exposed to the liquid, which reduces the rate of dissolution. With less surface area for the liquid to come into contact with, it takes longer for the cube to break down and fully dissolve.
no they are same
No, caster sugar is fine-ground granulated sugar. Confectioner's sugar is a mix of ultra-fine sugar and a starch; it is sometimes called icing sugar.
Caster sugar has finer granules than regular (or "granulated") sugar. For cupcakes, you should be able to use regular sugar instead of castor without any detriment to the final product.
Usually it is plain granulated sugar that you would use for anything else. Some people prefer sugar cubes, which is suagr pressed into a small cube shape.
The main distinguishing feature of confectioners' sugar is that its a very fine powder (while regular sugar is often in powder form, it is more granular, hence the name granulated). This helps the confectioners' sugar dissolve faster, which may aid in some applications.
Granulated sugar would dissolve faster because there is more surface area exposed to the water.
Fructose and granulated sugar at 99.99% and candies which are derivatives of sugar
Yes it does the powdered sugar does grow faster and the granulated sugar starts to mold
If you are measuring by weight, yes. If you are measuring by volume (i.e "cups"), not necessarily, since caster sugar has smaller grains and hence will "fit together" in the cup in a more compact way than granulated sugar will. This means that a cup of caster sugar will contain slightly more than a cup of granulated sugar will.
