Yes, sugar is soluable in alcohol. I am assuming you mean drinking alcohol although it is soluable in all organic alcohols. The hyrdoxy (-OH) groups on both the sugar and the alcohol allow for hydrogen bonding, making sugar very soluable in alcohol. Hydrogen bonds are also the reason sugar is so soluable in water.

∙ 15y agowell isopropyl alcohol is a sugar based substance and for example when used in Diabetes glucose measurement can give errounous results. the sugar in the alcohol can read as blood sugar on the meter causing the number to be higher . in turn the person takes more insulin causing hypoglicemia

∙ 11y agoYes, it does, but very slowly.
During a lab experiment, we used M&Ms and placed them in several liquids including isopropyl alcohol. Our goal was to dissolve the sugar coating around the M&M. After about 30 min, the coating was completely dissolved proving sugar does dissolve in isopropyl alcohol.
More than likely the reason it was soluble is because the alcohol is hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air and rather quickly at that) thus the sugar was soluble in an alcohol-water mixture!

∙ 13y agoOnly slightly. Salt (sodium chloride) is not soluble in alcohol, but is soluble in water. Nearly all "rubbing alcohol" contains water.
To prove this for yourself, pour a small bowl of rubbing alcohol, then add a teaspoon of salt. It will mostly remain at the bottom of the bowl. Now add water to the bowl, forming a miscible mixture of water and alcohol. After enough water is added, the salt will eventually go into solution in the mixture.

How can you separate salt and sugar?
Organic SolventsBenzene and other solvents will dissolve sugar, but not salt. Salt is slightly soluble in ethanol, but this method can be used for experiments. Add the mixture to ethanol and strain out the salt with filter paper. Evaporating the ethanol will leave the sugar behind.Water Solution First in a large glass of cold water and mix the "Salt+Sugar" you have there.Then wait until some solid particles form on the bottom of the glass.Carefully take the water out of the glass.The solid particles are SUGARThen the water is SALT+WATERTake the "Salt+Water" and boil it until there is no more water.Then you will end with just SALT (hot salt...)In theory, if a water solution is cooled, sugar crystals should precipitate before the salt, but this is difficult to control experimentally.
Liquid that has a density of 0.80 and soluble in cyclohexane what liquid may be this?
Acetone 0.79; t-Butyl alcohol 0.79; Isopropyl alcohol 0.79; Methyl alcohol 0.79; Propionaldehyde 0.81
Why does a smarty dissolve in cold water?
They are made of pure sugar, and sugar dissolves in water.
What would dissolve the best in oil?
grease
Is sugar souluble or insouluble?
What happens when you put it into your coffee? Does it dissolve or not?
Polarity differences between isobutyl alcohol and isobutyl chloride?
Polarity of isobutyl chloride is more when compared to isobutyl chloride.
Will sugar dissolve in alcohol?
yes
What is Isobutyl alcohol?
it is a chemical compound
How do you separate a mixture of salt and sugar?
sugar can dissolve in alcohol but salt cant dissolve in alcohol.we add the mixture in alcohol and filtrater it and get sugar alcohol solution one side and salt left other side
What ester is formed when formic acid reacts with isobutyl alcohol?
ch3oh+hcooh =hcooch3
What can I do to separate sugar and salt?
Pour the mixture in alcohol. The sugar will dissolve and the salt can be separated, and then, pour water on the alcohol/sugar solution. Wait for the water/alcohol to evaporate, then the sugar will be left.
What happens if you mix sugar and alcohol?
If there is enough liquid, the sugar will dissolve, as rubbing alcohol is a mixture of water (about 30%) with an alcohol. Sugar is soluble in both liquids. * BTW, rubbing alcohol is poisonous. *
What is the carboxylic acid needed to form isobutyl benzoate?
Benzoic acid esterified with the alcohol isobutanol gives isobutyl benzoate.
What happens if you mix sugar and rubbing alcohol?
If there is enough liquid, the sugar will dissolve, as rubbing alcohol is a mixture of water (about 30%) with an alcohol. Sugar is soluble in both liquids. * BTW, rubbing alcohol is poisonous. *
Why does a sugar cube not dissolve in isopropyl alcohol?
Because the particle of the sugar are heavier that the particles of the rubbing alcohol so they tend to stay at the bottom of the container and do not dissolve p.s. I an not sure about this answer but hopefully it helps
Why does sugar and water and alcohol and acid dissolve well in water?
because they contain the main constituent hydrogen
How do you determine the molar mass of isobutyl alcohol?
The boiling point of water is only 100 C, so water can not be used to heat the flask containing Isobutyl. Heat the flask containing the Isobutyl directly or heat it in a substance that has a boiling point above 108 C
