Sucrose is a common sugar and we know that it is used as a sweetener when dissolved in many beverages. What does this allow us to predict about the structure of sucrose?
Sucrose is used as a sweetener in teas, coffee, and a host of soft drinks. The solvent in all of these beverages is water, a polar molecule. The rule “like dissolves like” implies that sucrose must also be a polar molecule. Without even knowing the formula or structure of sucrose, we can infer this important information from a simple experiment—dissolving sugar in our morning cup of coffee.
