Question

When we add sugar to water to make a sugar solution, the volume of the water does not change. Give reason.

Answer 1

When we add sugar to water to make a sugar solution, the volume of the water does not change because sugar dissolves in water and fix into empty space between molecules. The level of water doesn’t change as it is soluble in water. It occupies space between the two molecules of water. Hence its volume doesn’t increase.
