Question

1. Some sugar is added to a glass of water. Which of the statements below is true? Explain. a. Volume of sugar + Volume of water = Volume of sugar solution
b. Mass of sugar + Mass of water = Mass of sugar solution ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a is false, b is true

Explanation:

See volume of water doesn't increase with its saturation.

so the sugar gets mixed in with the water particles. therefore, the volume remains same

on the other hand, the mass would increase, as it is the mass of sugar and water combined

Answer 2

Answer:

b

Explanation:

because its volume would be negligable and it would dissolve in water so its volume added will be 0

but mass always stays there
