What problem could you have if you tried to use displacement of water to find the volume of a sugar cube?

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

∙ 11y agoWell you would probably have quite a mess on your hands because sugar cubes are made from water and carbon. The sugar cube would melt even before you could measure it so a solution to this is to put it to room temperature and measure it that way. If that doesn't work then put it in the freezer and see what happens then.

A better way to get its volume would be to get its mass, then look up the density for sucrose (table sugar), then apply the equation V=M/D (volume, mass, density) and solve.

∙ 14y agoNo. you can't use water displacement method.

∙ 14y agoDisplacement in another liquid that does not disolve the sugar (oil?).
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo, because sugar is dissolved in water.

What problem would you have if you tried to displace water to find the volume of a sugar cube?
The problem you would have is that the sugar cube would not be at its regular size so to solve that you would have to put the water in first and then put the sugar cube in it. After that is done then record the volume the sugar starrts to melt into the water.
Why do sugar cubes dissolve more slowly than granulated sugar?
Let's imagine the following objects first: Sugar cubes are solid blocks, each with a comparatively larger volume. Granulated sugar is fine and particulate, and each grain has a very small volume. It is only logical that when comparing one block of sugar to one grain of sugar, that the grain dissolves faster because it has a smaller volume (less to dissolve), and the surface area to volume ratio is much higher.
Is sugar a chemical form of matter with a definite shape and volume?
Yes, it is true; sugar (sucrose) is a solid organic compound.
Which tool could be used to separate sugar from water?
Heat. The water will evaporate and leave the sugar behind.
Why the more the volume of solvent thefaster sugar dissolves in water?
When enough sugar is dissolved into the solvent (water) , or goes 'in to solution' , that no more will dissolve , the solvent is said to be 'saturated'. The more solvent you have the more sugar you can put into solution. No more sugar will dissolve once the solvent (now your solution) is saturated.
How could you measure the volume of granulated sugar?
Use the water displacement method
How do you determine the volume of sugar without using water displacement?
it will dissolve
How do you find the volume of sugar?
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.
Which one of these can not be used with the displacement method a rock a sugar cube block of wood oxygen gas a whale a coin?
A sugar cube, since the sugar cube will dissolve in the water and you will not be able to measure the increase in volume.
What problem would you have if you tried to displace water to find the volume of a sugar cube?
The problem you would have is that the sugar cube would not be at its regular size so to solve that you would have to put the water in first and then put the sugar cube in it. After that is done then record the volume the sugar starrts to melt into the water.
Can the density of sugar be determined by the water displacement method?
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).
How would you measure how heavy a teaspoon of sugar?
First of all teaspoon is a measurement of volume. Sugar is measured by weight. A teaspoon of sugar could be weighed ob a digital scale.
When sugar is dissolved in water does the volume of liquid increase?
Concentration increases
How many grains of sugar are in a bag of sugar?
that's just like asking how many grains of sand are on a beach...... what you could do is... measure the size of a grain of sugar - width, length, height and times these together to find its volume. then empty a bag of sugar and fill it with water, until where the sugar reaches when filled. pour the water into a measuring jug - you now have the volume of sugar that the bag takes in cm3. the grains of sugar will have a few air spaces between them so take a rough guess at this amount - maybe 1-2cm3 now minus this from the volume of the bag. divide the volume of the bag by the volume of one grain of sugar. this will be an approximate figure of how many grains there are.
What is the volume of sugar and water mixture?
The volume of a sugar and water mixture is less than the volume of each substance alone because when water is added to sugar, water fills in the little spaces between the particles of sugar, resulting in a lower volume.
When sugar is disolved in water there is increasing in the volume?
The volume increase.
Is icing sugar same as fruit sugar?
No - icing sugar is made from glucose and is simply white sugar finely ground to make confectioner's sugar or powder sugar. It often has small amounts of cornflour added. It is used to dust baked goods or to make an icing or frosting by adding small amounts of liquid or fat. Fruit sugar is made from fructose and is preferred by some people for dietary or allergy-related reasons. It is a form of granulated sugar. You could make icing sugar from fruit sugar by grinding it finely in a food processor and adding a small quantity of cornflour. If you're baking a cake and have run out of sugar you could substitute the same weight or volume of fruit sugar or a smaller volume or the same weight of icing sugar (because icing sugar is more finely ground than granulated sugar the same weight of icing sugar wil occupy less volume).
