If it is said more correctly, salt dissociates in water as it is an ionic compound and seperate into ions when mixed water. Subsequently, these ions create hydration spheres very rapidly. This is the reason for the observation of rapid dissolving of salt.
On the other hand, sugar has relatively large molecules which have covalent bonds. The only way sugar can dissolve in water is making hydrogen bonds with the -O-H groups it has. This takes a considerable time when compared to the dissociation of salt.

∙ 15y agoSugar has a higher solubility than salt. We did an experiment in our fifth grade class to test and answer your question. In all 5 trials, we found that more sugar would dissolve in the water than salt. As we added salt, it made the water cloudy and only let us dissolve 5 teaspoons in 1/2 cup of water. The sugar was much more soluble and we dissolved between 10 and 15 teaspoons in 1/2 cup of water in each trial.

What does it mean if Citric acid has a higher solubility than salt?
This means that citric acid dissolves into a solution faster than salt.
How do you use the word soluble in a sentence?
The solubility of sugar(in water) increases when the water is heated up.
Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
When table salt and sugar are dissolved in water it is observed that the boiling point of 0.10 m Na-Cl is higher than that of 0.10 m?
Na+ ions and Cl- ions are formed from salt ... twice as many particles are dissolved as the sugar. So the boiling point will be higher for the salt solution.
About how many times more soluble in water is sugar than salt?
I did this experiment for school and sugar is the most soluble in boiling hot water. this was my experiment: Sugar: - I had to stir each tea spoon of sugar for quite a while but amazingly it was the most soluble out of all the substances I put in the boiling hot water. I put 7 teaspoons of sugar into half a glass of boiling hot water. Salt: - on the 1st tea spoon the salt dissolved really quickly so I thought that it would be the most soluble but at the 3rd tea spoon it wouldn't dissolve anymore. hope this helps...
Does a block of salt in water or a sugar cube in water have a higher rate of solubility?
Salt dissolves more easily than sugar, in my experience. But the solubility is similar. :)
Why does sugar have a higher solubility rate than salt?
because the inter molecular bonds in sugar are very weaker, where as salt will be haaving strong ionic bonds.
What does it mean if Citric acid has a higher solubility than salt?
This means that citric acid dissolves into a solution faster than salt.
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.
How do you use the word soluble in a sentence?
The solubility of sugar(in water) increases when the water is heated up.
What is the solubility of piperaquine phosphate?
The solubility in water is higher than 10 g/L.
Which has more crystals salt or sugar?
Based on observing salt is more crystalize than sugar
How does salt dissolve oil?
Baking soda dissolves faster than salt.
Why is salt water more dense than fresh water and sugar water?
Salt and sugar both dissolve in water, thereby increasing its mass. Salt is approximately 40% more dense than sugar, and thereby the salt water is more dense than sugar water (when either are added in the same quantities by volume).
Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
Does salt dissolve in water faster than sugar?
yes.The chemical structure of salt(NaCl) is simpler than that of the sugar (C6H12O6)
When table salt and sugar are dissolved in water it is observed that the boiling point of 0.10 m Na-Cl is higher than that of 0.10 m?
Na+ ions and Cl- ions are formed from salt ... twice as many particles are dissolved as the sugar. So the boiling point will be higher for the salt solution.
