The observation that there is no increase in volume when sugar is dissolved in water illustrates the characteristic of matter known as "volume conservation." This phenomenon occurs because the sugar molecules occupy spaces between the water molecules, allowing the total volume to remain constant despite the addition of the solute. It highlights the ability of different substances to interact without necessarily increasing the total volume of the mixture.
The volume of the resulting solution is actually increased. As a rule of thumb the extra volume is about 60% of the kg mass taken in litres.Example: 1 L water + 1 kg sugar will take 1 L + 0.60L = 1.6 L(with total mass of 2 kg solution)
The solubility of sugar (sucrose) is approx. 2 000 g/L at room temperature; it is a very high solubility. If a cup has 200 mL you can dissolve in it 400 g sugar. Thus a cup full of sugar will absorb a cup full of water without overflowing. You may have to mix the two in a bigger pot, but once dissolve you should be able to pour all the mixture back into the cup that held the sugar.

you won't see it when it's fully disolved.
Concentration increases
The volume of a sugar and water mixture is less than the volume of each substance alone because when water is added to sugar, water fills in the little spaces between the particles of sugar, resulting in a lower volume.
When sugar is wet, it absorbs some of the water, increasing its volume but not its weight. This can create the illusion that wet sugar is lighter when measured by volume, but its actual weight remains the same as dry sugar.

When enough sugar is dissolved into the solvent (water) , or goes 'in to solution' , that no more will dissolve , the solvent is said to be 'saturated'. The more solvent you have the more sugar you can put into solution. No more sugar will dissolve once the solvent (now your solution) is saturated.
Mineral water will be more dense than distilled water. The disolved material adds mass, but does not increase the volume.

The characteristic of matter illustrated by this observation is that sugar dissolves in water, forming a homogeneous mixture without increasing the total volume. This demonstrates the property of solubility, where the sugar molecules are dispersed evenly throughout the water molecules without changing the overall volume of the solution.
The properties of sugar and water alone is a liquid and a solid. The properties of sugar-water solution is a liquid.
