How will the specific gravity of urine be affected by the presence of sugar?

Since specific gravity is the density of a substance relative to water, dissolving solids such as sugar will increase it. Here's an extreme example: think of placing a floating object in water, then placing the same object in honey. It's easy to imagine the object floating higher in thick honey than it would on water, right? Honey has a higher specific gravity than water, and floating a hydrometer in a liquid is how its specific gravity is often measured.

Detect the presence of adulterants in sugar?

What exactly is a reagent in English?
A reagent is a chemical substance that reacts with some other substance. It is common to add a specific reagent to an unknown substance to determine whether or not the substance that the particular reagent reacts to is present. (For example, add a reagent for sugar to test for the presence of sugar.)
What is an Osmotolerant bacteria?
A microorganism that can grow in the presence of high sugar concentration
What is an abequose?
An abequose is a specific deoxy sugar.
When a pollen grain lands on stigma it usually sticks because of the presence of?
its either from sugar or water.
Does specific gravity of wine go up or down with sugar?
A hydrometer will float higher in a heavy liquid giving a lower reading, such as one with a quantity of sugar dissolved in it, and lower in a light liquid, such as water or alcohol.Therefore the specific gravity goes down with sugar.
How do you calculate the specific gravity of known brix sugar solution?
Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measurement of the dissolved sugar-to-water mass ratio of a liquid. It is measured with a saccharimeter that measures specific gravity of a liquid or more easily with a refractometer. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (w/w), with 25 grams of sugar per 100 grams of solution. Or, to put it another way, there are 25 grams of sucrose sugar and 75 grams of water in the 100 grams of solution. http://www.fermsoft.com/gravbrix.php

What happens if specify gravity is low in wine?
generally speaking, the lower the starting specific gravity of the must the lower the amount of sugar available for the yeast organisms to eat and consequently the lower the resultant alcohol content of the final product.
How do you test for sugar in gas?
You do not need to. The sugar will fall down under gravity!
How do plants get their sugar?
Photosynthesis Carbon dioxide + water in the presence of light -> sugar + oxygen
What does Benedict's Test provide or test for?
Benedict's test estimates on color scale the presence of sugar .Normally used as a random pathological chemical test to determine the presence of sugar in urine in diabetes patients.In presence of sugar Benedict's solution turns from blue to shades of yellow,red,brown & dark according to the percentage of sugar present in solution on heating the solution.
Benedict's turns orange when heated in the presence of a?
A single sugar

It is common to add a specific reagent to an unknown substance to determine whether or not the substance that the particular reagent reacts to is present. (For example, add a reagent for sugar to test for the presence of sugar.)
What is urine tested for in DOT medical card?
In the normal DOT physical, the urine is checked for blood, protein, sugar, and specific gravity. DOT-protocol drug test may or may not be included.
How are nerves affected by low blood sugar?
Nerves need sugar for energy, and to function properly.
What does a positive Benedict test indicate?
Benedict's solution is originally blue. Any change in color indicates presence of a reducing sugar. The intensity in color change is proportional to the concentration of the sugar. If there is enough sugar, the color changes from blue to green to yellow to orange to brick red.
