What is the answer

Formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 L of water

Explanation:

The substance formed by adding 5 g of suagr to 1 L of water is a mixture.

A mixture is defined as two or more substances that are physically mixed but do not react together. It thus means that the component substances of a mixture can be retrieved through appropriate means of separations.

A mixture of sugar and water can be separated by evaporation. The mixture is heated and the vapor from the boiling water can be condensed to retrieve the water while the residue will give the sugar that was initially dissolved in it.

The products formed from other descriptions in the illustration cannot be separated ordinarily and thus, are not considered to be mixture. The components have been chemically combined together.
