When a stone is dipped in a glass containing some water, the level of water rises but when a

spoon of sugar is added to it and stirred, the water level does not rise? why?

Step-by-step explanation:

It's so because we know that stone is insoluble, ain't it, so it takes space in water & the water level rises.

But, when a spoon of sugar is added to water, it is soluble & hence mixes with water, so it doesn't rise.

I Hope this helps! (ㆁωㆁ)
