“When sugar is dissolved in water, there is no increase in volume.” Is it true or false? Comment on the statement keeping in mind the amount of sugar, amount of water, etc.

Answer»

This statement is true. 

Reason: When sugar is dissolved in water, the particles of sugar occupy the space between the particles of water. Hence there is no change in the volume of water.

Conditions for observing the change in volume of water:

If we go on adding sugar without increasing the quantity of water, there will be no space between water particles, to be occupied by sugar particles. Hence the sugar remains undissolved.
