The concentration of solid sugar (mass or moles per volume) is a constant - the density of the sugar. Having 200 grams or a 1,000,000 grams does not change the concentration of the solid. | |

So you aren't increasing the concentration of the sugar in solution, you're simply increasing the mass of the precipitate. | |
