A student carries out an experiment to determine the amount of sugar needed to make a saturated sugar solution. He adds 5 grams of sugar into 100 ml of water in a beaker and stirs the solution. He adds another 5 grams of sugar into the water and stirs the solution. He repeats the process until no more sugar can dissolve in the water.
