How soluble does it need to be?
1 g sucrose dissolves in 170 mL ethanol and 100 mL methanol.
give the name of a solvent other than water for dissolving sugar?

In ethanol: 1g/170ml=0.00588g/mL or 5.88g/L.
In words, 5.88grams of sucrose will dissolve in 1Litre (ie 1 cubic decimeter or1000 cubic centimeters) of ethanol.
In methanol: following the same steps in our earlier calculations,
solubility in g/L
1/0.1=10g/L.
In words, as much as 10g of sucrose can dissolve in 1 litre of methanol.
