Chapter 13 Mixtures, Solubility, and Acid/Base Solutions

At a stage in the process of extracting sucrose from sugar cane, lime is added to the sucrose solution in order to

• lower the pH of the solution

• raise the pH of the solution

• stop the sucrose changing into sugars

• increase the percentage of sugar that would crystallize out
