Salt dissolve in water since they are composed of ionic bonds. Sugar contains lots of OH groups which form hydrogen bonding with water thus soluble in water.

Why does suger water boil faster than salt water?

Get your facts right! SALT WATER boils faster than sugar water! Why? Because heat induces hydrogen bonding between sugar and water molecules. In other words, for sugar and water, much energy is spent in bonding.


Does sugar dissolve quicker in salt water or soapy water?

Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water. Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules. In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules. Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.


Compare 3 physical and 3 chemical properties of salt and sugar?

Both sugar and salt are white, very small, and grainy like sand. A few chemical similarities are that salt and sugar are both water soluble, humans need both salt and sugar to survive, and both can burn.

What is the similar physical properties of salt ang sugar?

Both are crystal-like.


Why is citric acid more soluble than salt and sugar?

Citric acid is more soluble than salt and sugar because it has more polar groups that can interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding, increasing its solubility. In contrast, salt and sugar have stronger ionic interactions that may not be as favorable for dissolution in water.


What physical properties would you use to tell salt and sugar apart?

Solubility, crystal size and shape, and taste are physical properties that can be used to differentiate between salt and sugar. Salt has a higher solubility in water compared to sugar, it typically forms cubic or rectangular crystals, and tastes salty. Sugar, on the other hand, has a lower solubility in water, forms more of a granulated or fine crystal structure, and tastes sweet.


What would you do to form a heterogeneous mixture of sugar and salt crystals?

To form a heterogeneous mixture of sugar and salt crystals, you can simply mix the two substances together in a container. The sugar and salt crystals will not dissolve into each other as they have different chemical properties, creating a visible separation in the mixture.


Is salt and sugar mixtures?

Because two different compounds (salt and sugar) are mixed together.


How do you make a lava lamp with sugar or salt?

You cannot make a lava lamp using sugar or salt. Lava lamps typically use a combination of wax and a liquid solvent, which is heated to create the lava effect. Sugar and salt do not have the properties necessary to create the same effect.


What is the bonding process of salt?

Ionic bonding. Salt, NaCl, contains Na+ and Cl- ions.
