Sugar crystals do not dissolve easily in ice-cold water. Explain.

(N/A) The solubility of a solute like sugar depends on the kinetic energy of the solvent molecules.
At lower temperatures,such as in ice-cold water,the kinetic energy of water molecules is significantly reduced.
This reduction in kinetic energy decreases the frequency and force of collisions between water molecules and sugar crystals,thereby slowing down the rate of dissolution.
Additionally,the free energy of water,often referred to as water potential,is lower at reduced temperatures,which limits the ability of the solvent to break down the crystal lattice of the solute.
