You can immerse the sugar crystal(s) into some other liquid e.g. oil. Knowing the density of the oil you have, you can then calculate the relative density via a conversion equation: roe_sugar/roe_oil * roe_oil/roe_water

The density of a regular solid can be calculated as the mass of a sample of the solid divided by the volume of that sample.

Density = Mass/Volume

For example, if a block of a metal has a mass of 100kg and a volume of 2m3, its density would be 50kg/m3.

while the density of normal water may range from 997 kg/m3 at room temperature thedensity of sugar may vary depending on what form it is present.

Typically sugar has a density ranging from 200 kg/m3 when in the form of sugarcane to 850 kg/m3 as finished raw white sugar..

So primarily the density of any mattre or material depends on the existing pressure and temperature..The physical and chemical properties of the substance also play a significant role..

The only possible answer is "denser than plain water" because the actual density depends on how much sugar is dissolved in the water, and that value is not given.

Use some other liquid...kerosene, alcohol, ethylene glycol, even Mercury, in which it is not soluble. My guess is that you could even use air, but that would be real tricky.

What is the effect of sugar compared to water on density?

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.

This depends on the density of the solution and density depends on the concentration of sugar.

No, the density of the solution is greater.


How does the moon's density compare to water?

The density of water is 1000 kg m-3 The density of the moon is 3346.4 kg m-3 So the density of the moon is 3.3464 times that of water.


How is density related to sugar content?

I am assuming by "sugar content" you are referring to a solution of sugar and water. Water at around 25 degrees Celsius has a density of 1.0 gram/cm3. The density of solid sugar (sucrose) is around 1.6 grams/cm3. As you dissolve sucrose in water, the density of the resulting solution will naturally increase as you add more and more sugar. As you approach 100% sucrose, the density will approach 1.6 grams/cm3.
