To separate sugar and water from a mixture of the two, the
easiest way would be to use distillation. Distillation is a way of separating substances
based on the difference in their boiling points. Using distillation it is possible to
separate sugar, which has a much higher boiling point than water, from
water.
The water is heated in a container which has a
facility to collect the evaporated water vapor. The collected water vapor is condensed
and stored separately in another container as water.
After
all the water has evaporated, we find pure sugar left in the original container and pure
water is collected in the one that we used for that purpose.
