In an ideal world a solute (sugar) dissolves in a solvent (water) without altering the volume. This is not always 100% true. The solute dissolves into the interstices of the solvent. Interstices means the holes between molecules - like pouring sand into a jar of marbles.
The volume does not seem to change as the interstices are filled with the solute.
When sugar is dissolved in water, the total amount of substance remains the same because the sugar molecules do not disappear; they simply disperse throughout the water. The process of dissolving involves breaking the sugar molecules apart and allowing them to interact with water molecules, but the mass of the sugar combined with the mass of the water equals the mass of the resulting solution. Thus, the total quantity of matter is conserved.
Total solid refers to the sum of all solid matter present in a substance, typically expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the substance. This measurement includes both organic and inorganic compounds that exist in a solid form within the substance.

The formula for biodegradability is typically expressed as the ratio of the amount of a substance degraded by microorganisms to the total amount of that substance present, multiplied by 100 to give a percentage value. This can be represented as: Biodegradability (%) = (Amount of substance degraded / Total amount of substance) x 100.

The chemical composition of sugar remains the same when dissolved in water. Only the physical state of sugar changes, from solid to liquid. The total amount of matter in the system (sugar + water) also remains constant.
The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)

The solubility is the total quantity of a solute dissolved in a given volume of solvent (100 mL or 1 L) at a given temperature and pressure.

This can be represented as: Biodegradability (%) = (Amount of substance degraded / Total amount of substance) x 100.
The SI unit for quantifying the total amount of kinetic energy of a substance is the joule (J).
Brix measures total dissolved solids while Total sugar is only a measure of sugar content. Higher sugar content will raise the brix measurement, but higher brix measurement does not always mean there is a higher sugar content.
Salinity is a measure of the total amount of dissolved salts in water, while specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. In the context of seawater, salinity and specific gravity are related in that as salinity increases, the specific gravity of the water also increases due to the increased concentration of dissolved salts.
