The time it takes for granulated sugar to dissolve in water can vary depending on several factors, including temperature, agitation, and the amount of sugar and water used. In general, granulated sugar dissolves relatively quickly in water due to its fine crystal structure.
At room temperature (around 20-25 degrees Celsius or 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit), it typically takes a few minutes for granulated sugar to dissolve completely in water when gently stirred. The dissolution process can be accelerated by increasing the temperature of the water. Warmer water has increased molecular motion, allowing the sugar crystals to break down and mix with the water more rapidly.
If you need a more precise time estimate, it can be helpful to provide specific details such as the temperature of the water and the quantity of sugar being dissolved.
