Yes, but not using water. You need to use a liquid in which the solid is completely insoluble. Therefore water will not work at all, but you could probably find a liquid in which sugar is not soluble (although it could be hard to find -- I don't know of any myself -- perhaps hexanes or oil would work).
no. because the sugar cube will dissolve in the water while you are testing!
This depends on the volume of water and sugar concentration.
If the solid is soluble in water, you'll end up with a solution. For example, sugar is a solid, but it dissolves in water. So you couldn't tell the density of sugar (at least not in the direct way of the displacement method) by placing it in water.. This would also apply to salt, sand, ect.
A sugar cube, since the sugar cube will dissolve in the water and you will not be able to measure the increase in volume.
You can use displacement of water but you'll have to do it quickly before the sugar dissolves. You can also find a substance that sugar does not dissolve in and use that instead of water. If you change its state of matter, the volume might change.
No, the density of the solution is greater.
The method is not adequate for a solution.
Use the water displacement method

a sugar cube has air spaces in it. when put in water, the spaces will fill. the volume of water displaced will therefore be less than the original volume of the cube, so no

This depends on the density of the solution and density depends on the concentration of sugar.
Sugar has a greater density than water. This is obvious from the fact that it sinks in water. If you add sugar to water, the water's density increases.
what does the term sugar baseline mean and how is it determined for a person
Whether you have one tablespoon of sugar, or a million, the density will be the same.
Water displacement method will work fine with molecules that do not dissolve... Here you have something that will dissolve in water, changing it's density. What I would do is to weight a graduated container, put some sugar (more you add, more precise will be the result) in the container... Better weight the container before... Weight the container after. Now you know the *weight* part of the answer, then you melt it, in that container... you read the *volume* part of the answer. put the part together to have a density which is mass/volume g/cm³ for example, or g/mL, which is the same.

it will dissolve
the melt and mix method is when you melt butter and add it to sugar. this method is used in cooking.
