It depends on how cold the water is right before it freezes(> 0 degrees Centigrade for distilled H2O) and the amount of sugar dissolved in the water and at what temperature the water is. Let's standardize the temp and say it's 2 degrees C. For 2 glasses of distilled H2O, add a teaspoon of sugar in one glass and none in the other. Use a specific gravity battery tester. Put it in each glass and record both. Add more sugar in the !st glass and stir until dissolved. At that temp it may take some time. Eventually you will reach a saturation point at that temp at which no more sugar will dissolve. At that point the specific gravity (or density) should exceed the cold, distilled, pure un-sugared water.

The question says nothing about the temp of the sugared water. But if you raise the temp of the sugared water you can dissolve more sugar than could be dissolved in the colder water. The specific gravity of the sugared water would get higher as you increase the temp., all the way to boiling. It is possible to boil the water and add more sugar until you get a super saturated solution. Let it cool slowly to room temp. Then add a pinch of sugar to the supersaturated solution and watch what happens. It's like honey that solidifies. Have to reboil to get it back into solution. RW

Why does sugar sink in water?

Sugar sinks in water because it heavier and more dense than water. Artificial sweeteners like Aspartame are not as dense and will float.

Is very cold water more or less dense than less cold water?

Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.


Is warm or cold water denser?

its according to what other temperature of water you are comparing it to. water is densest at 4 degrees C so water that is colder then 4 degrees C is technically less dense then water at 4C. in that case the warmer water is denser. but if you mean warm water to be >4C and cold water to be colder then warm water, but not below 4C, then cold water is more dense then warm water. but the question you are probably trying to get answered would have an answer of cold is denser
