You can immerse the sugar crystal(s) into some other liquid e.g. oil. Knowing the density of the oil you have, you can then calculate the relative density via a conversion equation: roe_sugar/roe_oil * roe_oil/roe_water

Why do orange seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Orange seeds float in sugar water because the sugar increases the water's density, allowing the seeds to float. In ordinary water, the seeds sink due to their own density being greater than that of the water.


Why do calamansi seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Calamansi seeds have a lower density than sugar water, causing them to float. In ordinary water, the density of the seeds is greater than that of the water, causing them to sink.


How can one determine the relative density of a substance?

To determine the relative density of a substance, you can divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The relative density is also known as specific gravity and helps compare the density of a substance to that of water.


How do you find relative density of liquid?

To find the relative density of a liquid, you need to compare its density to the density of water. The formula for relative density is the density of the liquid divided by the density of water at a specific temperature. By measuring the mass of a given volume of the liquid and comparing it to the mass of an equal volume of water, you can calculate the relative density.


Why does sugur water make objects sink?

When sugar is added to water, the density of the water increases because sugar molecules take up space in between water molecules, making the overall solution denser. This higher density causes objects to sink because they are less buoyant in the denser sugar water compared to regular water.

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.


How would water density compare to ocean water?

The water would have the same density anywhere it is.


How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.


How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?

Ice is less dense than liquid water.

Does sugar add density to water?

yes


How does the density of magnesium compare with that of water?

It is greater than water. It sinks.


When sugar is dissolved in water the density of the solution decreases?

No, the density of the solution is greater.


Why do calamansi seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Calamansi seeds have a lower density than sugar water, causing them to float. In ordinary water, the density of the seeds is greater than that of the water, causing them to sink.


How is density related to sugar content?

I am assuming by "sugar content" you are referring to a solution of sugar and water. Water at around 25 degrees Celsius has a density of 1.0 gram/cm3. The density of solid sugar (sucrose) is around 1.6 grams/cm3. As you dissolve sucrose in water, the density of the resulting solution will naturally increase as you add more and more sugar. As you approach 100% sucrose, the density will approach 1.6 grams/cm3.


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.


What is the minimal information you need to decide will float in the water?

Average density of the object compare to density of water. If denser than water, it will sink.
