The index of refraction for 80% sugar solution is known to be about 1.5, while water is 1.33. There is a higher concentration, about 80% sugar at the bottom while there is nearly pure water near the top. In this demonstration, the sugar water is not evenly distributed. Θ 1 and θ 2 represent the index of refraction. What is the index of refraction for sugar water? The more sugar you add, the denser the solution. When you mix sugar with water, the sugar molecules occupy the space in between the water molecules, making the solution more tightly packed (denser). How do you change the density of a solution?Īn easy way to change water density is with sugar. In this sugar water density experiment, we will change the density of different colored water solutions so that they stay separated from each other. What happens when you mix sugar and water together?

An easy way to change water density is with sugar. Water can have different densities as well. How does sugar change the density of water? Why is sugar water more dense than regular water? In tap water the egg sinks because the egg is denser than the water the egg in salt water and sugar water floats because it is less dense than the water (salt and sugar increase the density of the water thus allowing the egg to float). The cup containing eight tablespoons of sugar will be the densest the cup with two tablespoons of sugar will be the least dense. Why is sugar dense?Īs you add sugar to the water, more and more sugar molecules take up the available space between water molecules, making the solution denser. Why does adding sugar to water make it more dense?Īs you add sugar to the water, more and more sugar molecules take up the available space between water molecules, making the solution denser. Adding sugar to the water increases the density of the water, so the more sugar in the solution, the greater the density. When more sugar is added, more space between the water particles is filled. 7 What is the index of refraction for sugar water?.6 What happens when you mix sugar and water together?.5 How does sugar change the density of water?.4 Is sugar water denser than salt water?.1 How does sugar affect density of water?.
