Why is it difficult to dissolve sugar in cold water?
Answer. Sugar dissolves faster in hot waterthan it does in cold water because hotwater has more energy than cold water. When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and, thus, move faster. As they move faster, they come into contact with the sugar more often, causing it to dissolve faster.

The alcohol molecules can’t attract the coloring and sugar molecules as well as the water so the candy coating doesn’t dissolve well in alcohol. The oil molecules have no positive and negative areas. They don’t attract the coloring or sugar molecules so the candy coating doesn’t dissolve at all in oil.
Does peppermint dissolve in water?

Why does water dissolve candy?
The bond between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms (O–H bond) in sugar (sucrose) gives the oxygen a slight negative charge and the hydrogen a slight positive charge. The polar water molecules attract the negative and positive areas on the polar sucrose molecules which makes sucrose dissolve in water.
