Lemonade is prepared by mixing lemon juice and sugar in water. You wish to add ice to cool it. Should you add ice to the lemonade before or after dissolving sugar? In which case would it be possible to dissolve more sugar?

(i) We should add ice to the lemonade after dissolving sugar. Without ice, sugar dissolves easily in lemon juice, because solubility depends on the temperature.

(ii) It will be possible to dissolve more sugar before adding ice. If we add ice before dissolving sugar, less amount of sugar will get dissolved.
