Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology

Sugar is not infinitely soluble in water because:

  1. when you mix enough sugar into water the solution eventually solidifies.

  2. of the strong attractions that occur between sugar molecules

  3. of the strong attractions that occur between water molecules

  4. there is only so much space between water molecules for sugar molecules to fit

D Correct answer
Explanation

Solubility has a physical limit because water molecules occupy finite space. Once all available spaces between water molecules are filled, additional sugar molecules cannot fit in. This saturation point creates the solubility limit.
