Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Shyam must have obtained a saturated solution of the sugar. A saturated solution is one that already contains the maximum amount of solute it can dissolve at a given temperature.

Shyam can get the sugar to dissolve in the water by

1. continuously stirring the solution in order to increase the entropy of the system. The more the entropy of a system, the faster the rate of reaction.

2. raising the temperature of the water through heating. The heat will increase the entropy of the system and cause more sugar to dissolve.
