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.

Why does sugur water make objects sink?

When sugar is added to water, the density of the water increases because sugar molecules take up space in between water molecules, making the overall solution denser. This higher density causes objects to sink because they are less buoyant in the denser sugar water compared to regular water.


What does sugar have in it that makes sodas sink?

Sodas sink due to their density, which is influenced by their sugar content. When sugar is dissolved in water, it increases the liquid's density compared to pure water. As a result, sodas, which contain high levels of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, are denser than pure water, causing them to sink when placed in it.


Which of these solutes settle at the bottom when mixed with water?

Sand and sugar are examples of solutes that will settle at the bottom when mixed with water due to their higher density compared to water.


Does water have a high density compared to other substances?

Yes, water has a relatively high density compared to many other substances.


Why do orange seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Orange seeds float in sugar water because the sugar increases the water's density, allowing the seeds to float. In ordinary water, the seeds sink due to their own density being greater than that of the water.


Does Alcohol have a high density?

Why do calamansi seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Calamansi seeds have a lower density than sugar water, causing them to float. In ordinary water, the density of the seeds is greater than that of the water, causing them to sink.
