When sugar is mixed in water, water acts as what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solvent
When sugar dissolves in water, water provides the medium that surrounds and disperses the sugar particles. It is also generally present in the larger amount. Thus water is the solvent and sugar is the solute. An insoluble precipitate is not formed in this ordinary example, and vapour is a state, not the role of water in the solution.
