A sugar molecule is quite a bit larger than salt molecules. Why? Sugar is an organic molecule made of Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxgen the ratios and exact structure vary with the type of sugar. Salt is a rock, it's chemical formula is NaCl (common table salt, or sodium chloride), whereas sugar, sucrose being the common table sugar has a chemical formula of C12H22O11.

Yes, very much so- cells are microscopic, they can't be seen with the naked eye, only under microscopes.

Does salt dissolve in water faster than sugar?

yes.The chemical structure of salt(NaCl) is simpler than that of the sugar (C6H12O6)


Why does salt dissolve faster in cold water than sugar dissolves in cold water?

Sugar dissolves in water faster than salt because of the structure and bonding of its atoms. The atoms of Sugar are bound very loosely whereas the atoms of salt are tightly bonded as compared to the sugar atoms. That is why sugar dissolves faster than salt.


Do salt crystals grow faster than sugar crystals?

salt means ionically bonded metal and nonmetal. sugars come in a wide variety as well. nearly all salts are atomically smaller than all sugars. sodium chloride as 2 ions, sucrose has C12H22O11 as a chemical formula (45 atoms) for one example


Which freezes faster out of salt water sugar water and tap water and why?

Assuming there are equal concentrations of salt and sugar in each sample, the sugar water will freeze faster. Salt dissociates into its ions when dissolved, giving two ions for ever salt molecule. Because freezing point depression depends only on concentration, and the concentration of ions is double that of the sugar, sugar will freeze faster.


Does sugar dissolve faster than salt when all other variables are the same?

Sugar dissolves in a liquid faster than salt does. The reason is that sugar is less dense as a solute than salt is, leading to it dissolving in the solvent faster as it would fit into the 'empty gaps' that the solvent has at a much faster rate, which is how substances dissolve.

Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?

More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.


Does salt weigh more than sugar?

Sugar should weigh more than salt. Although the difference may be difficult to measure. Here's why: salt, common table salt is sodium chloride. It has a molar mass of 58.443 g/mol. Sugar, common sugar, is typically what sucrose is referred to. Sucrose is a large organic molecule, with a molar mass of 342.30 g/mol. Greater mass, greater weight.


Does salt dissolve in water faster than sugar?

What dissolve faster in hot and cold water Salt or sugar?

Sugar dissolves faster than salt in water. Salt has stronger bonds than sugar. That what makes sugar dissolve faster (because it has weaker bonds and structure than salt)
