interesting question. As we know it pure water freezes at 0C or 32F. since sugar water is not pure H2O, it stands to reason that it would freeze at lower temperature than of 32F. The same is true with salt water. It freezes at lower temperature, (hence the calcium on the roads during the winter that "melts the snow") and it also boils at higher temperature than of 100C or 212F (hence our grand mother adding salt to water when boiling spaghetti- it only increased the boiling point of the water and slightly increased the speed of the cooking)
It is tough to say if Sugar would act in the same manner, by making water impure and now making it freeze right away at 32F or 0C.. I grew up in Canada, and whe the maple tree were tapped with bucket to collect the Sap (sugar water to make maple syrup) it was often frozen in the mornings after freezing overnight!
So I vote that sugar water, freezes at lower temperature that of 0C.... but maybe close to like -2C of 30 F or so!
this is non scientific... but by simple deduction, and observation... Dear Watson!

Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.
It doesn't.
In tap water because this contain many useful minerals.
If you add salt to ice it will start to make the ice dissolve because the salt made it hotter. If it is 0 degrees Celsius ideal water will freeze. When you add salt to it, the salt is ionized by the water molecules, dissolving it into solution. It takes a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius for the water to break its association with the ions and freeze as a pure substance.
The concentration of sugar in tap water is "pretty much zero," while the concentration of sugar in something called "sugar water" is presumably "above zero". Which of those soundshigher?
Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.
Tap Water because adding substances to the water (salt or sugar) reduce the rate at which water will form ice crystals, making it freeze at a lower temperature.
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.
Plain Tap water would freeze fastest.Adding salt or sugar to tap water will cause a depression/decrease in freezing point. Hence it will be harder to freeze the tap salt or sugar water.
No, it isn't faster, tap water freezes just at the same temperature as tap water
i think tap water will freeze the fastest
It doesn't. Tap water freezes faster than salt water.
no tap water freezes quicker.
yes it does because the surgar in the water turns into cristles and elimenating all warmt hfrom the glass
Tap water
water
Sugar crystals grow faster in tap water because there are more chemicals in tap water.
