Picturing the water molecules on the molecular level, it clearly becomes evident that there is plenty of space for the molecules to further pack together. When sugar molecules dissolve in water, they tend to be surrounded by water molecules hydrogen bonding with themselves and the multiple hydroxy groups of the sugar. Basically the attraction between the sugar and water is strong enough that it pulls the molecules more closely together than in pure water. Therefore more substance is able to fill the same volume macroscopically, although it is likely that there will either be a net decrease or increase in volume, staying the same exact volume is a pretty rare phenomenom.

How do you add more sugar to tea and dissolve the sugar?
heat the tea and stir it. this will allow you to dissolve more sugar in the tea, causing it to be supersaturated. once the tea cools some sugar may fall to the bottom.
Is the sugar solution homogeneous or heterogeneous and why?
Homogeneous is mixed, like stirring sugar into a cup of tea or water. However, if you put one full teaspoon of sugar into 1/4 teaspoon of water, it would not mix completely-- the sugar would remain in a mostly granulated state. Or if you mixed sugar completely into a small amount of water and let the water evaporate, the sugar crystals would begin to fall to the bottom,e.g. separate from the mixture.
Is sugar soluble in hot water?
Sugar is soluble i tried it in my science cass.=) Sugar is soluble i tried it in my science cass.=)
What happens when water is added to glucose molecules?
It dissolves (ionizes) until the solution is saturated for the particular solute/solvent/temperature/pressure. From this point on further addition of the solute merely falls to the bottom unaltered at the bottom of the liquid as an undissolved solid substance.
What happen when cold water and mixed sugar is mixed?
The sugar dissolves, but not as fast as if the water were warm. If there's more sugar than that amount of water can hold at that temperature, then the sugar stops dissolving at some point, even if you keep stirring.
When you drop a sugar cube into water what changes the waters taste?
The sugar needed to be mixed not to just stay in one spot or it'll fall all the way down to the bottom.
Why is there sugar left at the bottom of your glass?
If you leave water with sugar in it outside, the water will evaporate, leaving behind the sugar
Separate water and sugar?
Boil the water and the sugar will be left on the bottom of the container. It works best if you use special distillation equipment.
Why does blood fall to the bottom when with water?
it is heavier from the iron in your blood :)
What is a body of water called at the bottom of a water fall?
pond, river, lake, etc.

Can hex bugs go in water?
Sadly no. If they fall in water they will sink to the bottom and go kapput.
Can sugerwater be separated?
To remove the sugar from the water, the water needs to be evaporated. This can be done by heating the water on a stove, until you are left with a white looking powder at the bottom which are the sugar crystals.

What happened when you mixed sugar with water?
Nothing actually the sugar just falls to the bottom and the water starts to get more towards room temperature. Hope that helped you. :)
Does sugar sink or float?
well, sugar is more dense than water. Therefore, sugar will sink to the bottom until it's dissolved into a substance. (:
How would you separate sand and sugar with solubility?
Place the mixture of sand and sugar in warm water, then stir.Allow the sand to settle to the bottom, then remove using a sieve.Boil off the water and collect the sugar.
