Lemonade is prepared by mixing lemon juice and sugar in water. You wish to add ice to cool it. Should you add ice to the lemonade before or after dissolving sugar? In which case would it be possible to dissolve more sugar?

 

Answer:

We should add ice after dissolving sugar before adding ice. It would be possible to dissolve more sugar.

This is because ice decreases the temperature of water and at lower temperatures , less amount of sugar is able to dissolve in water and it takes a longer time to do so.
