a sugar cube has air spaces in it.

when put in water, the spaces will fill.

the volume of water displaced will therefore be less than the original volume of the cube,

so no

What problem would you have if you tried to displace water to find the volume of a sugar cube?

The problem you would have is that the sugar cube would not be at its regular size so to solve that you would have to put the water in first and then put the sugar cube in it. After that is done then record the volume the sugar starrts to melt into the water.


Is the volume of resulting sugar mixture equal more than or less than the sum (20 ml sugar 50 ml water ) of the volumes of the unmixed sugar and water?

The volume of the resulting sugar mixture will be equal to the sum of the volumes of the unmixed sugar and water. This is because when you mix sugar and water, they do not create or destroy volume - they only mix together to occupy the combined space.


How do compare the volume of sugar solution and pure water?

The properties of sugar and water alone is a liquid and a solid. The properties of sugar-water solution is a liquid.


Is the resulting volume of sugar mixture equal more than or less than?

The resulting volume of a sugar mixture is generally equal to the sum of the volumes of the individual components. When sugar is mixed with another substance, the total volume will be close to the sum of the volumes of the two separate components.


What happened to the volume of the sugar solution in the thistle tube?

The volume of the sugar solution decreased in the thistle tube due to osmosis. Water moved from the solution into the potato cells, resulting in a decrease in volume of the solution in the tube.

How do you find the volume of sugar?

You can use displacement of water but you'll have to do it quickly before the sugar dissolves. You can also find a substance that sugar does not dissolve in and use that instead of water. If you change its state of matter, the volume might change.


How could you measure the volume of granulated sugar?

Use the water displacement method


How do you determine the volume of sugar without using water displacement?

it will dissolve


Can the density of sugar be determined by the water displacement method?

Yes, but not using water. You need to use a liquid in which the solid is completely insoluble. Therefore water will not work at all, but you could probably find a liquid in which sugar is not soluble (although it could be hard to find -- I don't know of any myself -- perhaps hexanes or oil would work).


Which instrument would be used to measure a cube of sugar?

A ruler or a caliper could be used to measure the dimensions of a cube of sugar, such as its length, width, and height. Alternatively, a volumetric measuring tool like a graduated cylinder or beaker could be used to measure the volume of the cube by submerging it in water and measuring the displacement.


Which one of these can not be used with the displacement method a rock a sugar cube block of wood oxygen gas a whale a coin?

A sugar cube, since the sugar cube will dissolve in the water and you will not be able to measure the increase in volume.

What cannot be measured by the water displacement method?

Objects with irregular shapes (e.g., a crumpled paper ball) or objects that dissolve in water (e.g., sugar) cannot be accurately measured using the water displacement method, as it relies on the volume of water displaced by the object.


When sugar is dissolved in water there is no increase in the volume which characteristics of matter is illustrated by this observation?

The observation that there is no increase in volume when sugar is dissolved in water illustrates the characteristics of matter known as "volume displacement" and "solubility." It demonstrates that when a solute (sugar) dissolves in a solvent (water), the solute molecules occupy spaces between the solvent molecules rather than adding to the overall volume. This behavior highlights the interactions at the molecular level and shows that the total volume of a solution can be less than the sum of the individual volumes of the solute and solvent.


What is the volume of 10 grams of sugar?

The volume of 10 grams of sugar depends on the density of the sugar. The volume can be calculated by dividing the mass by the density of the sugar. For example, if the density of sugar is 1.59 g/cm3, then the volume of 10 grams of sugar would be approximately 6.29 cm3.


When sugar is dissolved in water does the volume of liquid increase?

Concentration increases


How many grains of sugar are in a bag of sugar?

that's just like asking how many grains of sand are on a beach...... what you could do is... measure the size of a grain of sugar - width, length, height and times these together to find its volume. then empty a bag of sugar and fill it with water, until where the sugar reaches when filled. pour the water into a measuring jug - you now have the volume of sugar that the bag takes in cm3. the grains of sugar will have a few air spaces between them so take a rough guess at this amount - maybe 1-2cm3 now minus this from the volume of the bag. divide the volume of the bag by the volume of one grain of sugar. this will be an approximate figure of how many grains there are.
