I have a few questions I don't understand, could anyone help: 1) Sugar is more soluble in water than salt. Why does a salt solution conduct electricity, while a sugar solution does not? 2) Dissolving a certain solute in water releases heat. Dissolving a different solute in water absorbs heat. Explain why. 3) Would you expect to find more mineral deposit near a thermal spring or near cool mountain spring? Explain. Here are what I think: 1) Is it because salt solution is basic/ionic compound therefore conductible whereas Sugar solution contains carbon molecules or something like that? 2) They solutes have different boiling/melting points? 3) Thermal Spring because the minerals are heated and they break apart from the rocks or whatever?
