Since sugar consists of a lot of glucose and sucrose (which are both polar, hydrogen rich molecules), we begin to see excessive hydrogen bonding, which leads to the change in consistency.

Also, as we see more of the water being 'used up' to form polar bonds with the sucrose, other sucrose molecules are unable to be dissolved. This forms a cycle which results in undissolved sucrose forming a thicker solution.

have you ever bought glucose to use in foods? its a thick liquid substance, it's pretty much (not exactly) like a liquid form of sugar. glucose is seriously thick, and if a liquid version of sugar existed at room temperature, then it would be thick. this is why if you dissolve sugar into water it thickens it. (not the best explanation in the world sorry)

How do you remove sand and sugar?

Add water, and the sugar will dissolve leaving the sand as a solid. Filter that mixture and the sand will stay on the filter paper and the water and sugar will pass through. Evaporate the water, and you'll be left with sugar only.

Why dissolving is happening?

materials have ability to get an equilibrium state i,e they try to be stable add sugar in water sugar highly concentrated solid water neutral so they become equilibrium by dissolving process as homogeneous solution


What is the effect of sugar compared to water on density?

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.

Can unlimited sugar be added to water?

No, some time, if you add enough sugar, the water will be saturated and the sugar you add will just drop to the bottom. The amount of sugar that will saturate water will vary, depending on the type of sugar you use. Well, at least that is true for salt, so I think that that should be the same for sugar.
