Adding sugar to concrete can help to improve workability and slow down the setting time. However, it can also reduce the strength and durability of the concrete in the long run due to potential issues with carbonation and decreased bonding between cement particles. Overall, it is not recommended to use sugar as an additive in concrete unless in specific situations where these effects are desired.
No, It will weeken. As much as 1.5% weight per volume of a suspended sugar will have an effect of extending the plasticity cycle of the setting concrete and allow it to break esier once set. Exposure to syrup solutions will degrade, etch and weeken already cured placements.
To dissolve concrete with sugar, you would need to create a sugar solution by mixing water with a large amount of sugar. This solution can then be poured onto the concrete and left to sit for an extended period of time, typically several weeks to months, to gradually break down the concrete. However, it is important to note that this method is not very efficient or practical for dissolving large amounts of concrete and may not be effective for thick or reinforced concrete structures.
There are many types of plastic (acrylic, polycarbonate,...), so there isn't a straight forward answer. The obvious one is, I have had several plastic humming bird feeders for many years, always filled with heavy sugar water, and they seem just fine.
Cement is a homogenous mixture, but concrete is not.
No it quite simply does not. Despite the substances inside each of the compounds, There are other contributes that neutralize some sort of chemical reaction. Except brown sugar ;)

Regular sugar will cause the concrete to never set.
The noun 'sugar' is a concrete noun, a word for a physical substance.
No effect
Sugar can cause you to be hyper.
It would weaken the concrete, so keep out the salt.
The water/concrete ratio, not mixing it well enough, quality of raw materials, the age of the concrete, and the temperature and humidity of the area surrounding the concrete.

You can add citric acid and sugar to stop hydration. But then the concrete is unusable and you need to throw it away.

The Sugar Act went in to effect in 1764.
