Dissolved sugar in water can be seen as an example of what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solution of a solid in a liquid
In sugar solution, sugar is the solute and is initially a solid, while water is the solvent and is a liquid. Therefore it is classified as a solid-in-liquid solution. The classification is based on the physical states of solute and solvent, not on the colour or sweetness of the mixture. After dissolving, the solution is homogeneous, but sugar has not become a liquid chemically.
