Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in  a solvent at a particular temperature. When the temperature is increased then the kinetic energy of the particles increases. The increased kinetic energy of the particles makes the force of attraction between  them weaker, thus allowing more solute to get dissolved.
The correct statement would be–  the solubility of sugar in water increases with increase in temperature.
