Here's why:
* Soluble: This means the substance (in this case, sugar) has the ability to dissolve in a solvent (water).
* Solution: A solution is a homogeneous mixture formed when a solute (sugar) dissolves in a solvent (water).
Other terms that might be used, but are not the most accurate, include:
* Miscible: This term typically refers to liquids mixing together, not solids dissolving in liquids.
* Reacts with water: While sugar does interact with water molecules, it's not a chemical reaction in the traditional sense. The sugar molecules simply separate and disperse throughout the water.
