Similarly, you may ask, why do Skittles dissolve in vinegar?
You might think that since your stomach contains acid, the acetic acid in vinegar will break up or dissolve candy. In fact, candy might dissolve more slowly in vinegar, since the acetic acid molecules don't dissolve sugar as well as water does.
Similarly, why does soda dissolve candy? In normal water, sugar dissolves because it is able to form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules. In the more acidic soda, the sugar can react with the acid giving the sugar a net positive charge.
In this way, why does candy dissolve in water?
Sugar dissolves in water because energy is given off when the slightly polar sucrose molecules form intermolecular bonds with the polar water molecules. The weak bonds that form between the solute and the solvent compensate for the energy needed to disrupt the structure of both the pure solute and the solvent.
What candy dissolves the fastest?
The Jelly Bean dissolved the slowest by far. I predicted that the candy corn would dissolve fastest in the boiling water because it had the most sugar.
