It doesn't melt faster but it does melt at a lower temperature. This is because the sugar molecules mix in with the water molecules and prevent them from organizing to form a solid. For more information, look up 'colligative properties,' these are the properties of solutions.

∙ 10y agoSugar is made up of Sucrose.....
That type of element also has a substance called sodium.
Sodium has a chemical that is forced to make solid particles in ice move faster.
But because sugar does not have as much sodium as salt, it melts ice slower.
[The answer above is not correct. Sucrose has the chemical formula: C12H22O11 - No sodium, just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sodium is found in salt, which also melts ice.]

∙ 8y agoSugar is just like salt. it increases the melting point so it will melt ice. but the sugar doesn't melt the ice as fast.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt depends on what kind of sugar you are talking about...in most cases no it does not melt ice!
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoIn comparison to salt, sugar does not make ice melt faster. It melts ice at nearly the same speed as salt does.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, sugar helps melt ice. It helps melt ice because sugar increases the melting point of the ice which causes it to melt.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo it doesnt because sugar dissolves in water, so the melting range is the same.

What things melt?
you can melt ice, chocolate, rubber, glass, metal, cheese, fat, wax, butter, icing, sugar and lots more items!
Why do salt and sugar make ice melt?
Technically, they do not melt ice -- it requires heat to do that. But the addition of any solute (dissolved material) to water will lower its freezing point. So adding salt or sugar prevents melting ice from refreezing, or at least not until it gets much colder. The solute has the effect of blocking molecules attempting to form lattices in the water (ice), so it requires a lower temperature before the same number of water molecules can form crystals.
Which ice cube will melt fastest in the shade or in the sun?
Does ice melt faster in sun or shade
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
Why is it easier to remove the ice cubes from cold lemonade than it is to remove sugar?
Because sugar is a soluble and it was already dissolved in the lemonade. You could evaporate the lemonade and get the sugar then, but you could've easily taken out the ice cubes already because they aren't dissolved yet and are solid still.
Can you melt ice with sugar?
Sugar is not hot, it will freeze, Sugar vs Ice - Ice freezes sugar
What is a way that you can melt sugar ice?
One way you can melt sugar ice is put warm water all over it
Can sugar melt ice?
yes
Will ice melt faster with salt or sugar?
sugar
Does ice by itself melt faster than ice with sugar?
noo
Which substance will melt the ice first salt or sugar?
Salt will melt first.
Why does plain ice melt faster than sugar ice?
Because when you add sugar to ice it is no longer ice it is 'sugar ice' and therefore has a different melting point from pure ice.
Will sugar melt ice?
yes becauseit dissolves
Does sugar make ice melt slower?
Yes it does
Why do sugar melt ice before pepper?
because it do
What does sugar do to ice?
Well normally the sugar will stick to the ice but if you want to make coral out of it like under the see coral then melt the sugar then when its boiling put ice in it and if you want you can out food coloring in it and it will be colored! Don't put it in the freezer if you do it will melt.
Does ice melt faster to salt or sugar?
Sugar. Salt often slows down the process of melting, so sugar is what would melt it faster.
