The salt will cause the ice to melt faster. the sugar shouldn't have much of a difference.

Does sugar affect melting point?
No, sugar does not affect the melting point. The melting point of a substance is determined by its chemical composition and structure. However, adding sugar to a solution can affect its boiling point, but that is a different property.
Does salt dissolve quicker than sugar?
No, sugar has a melting point of 161 degrees Celsius and salt has a melting point of 801 degrees Celsius
How do different concentrations of salt and sugar solutions affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt makes ice melt quicker and suger causes the ice to melt slower.
What is the variable of sugar and salt?
The variable for both sugar and salt is temperature: more sugar or salt will dissolve in water at a higher temperature. The amount of water is also a factor, since more water will be able to dissolve more sugar or salt.
What does the salt do to the melting point of water?
Salt lowers the melting point of water. The water will have to be at a colder temperature to freeze since the salt inhibits the waters ability to form ice crystals at the normal freezing temperature.
Does the temperature of water affect how fast salt crystals or sugar crystals melt?
Yes. (BTW, the crystals are dissolving, not melting...melting occurs at a very high temperature).
Does sugar affect melting point?
No, sugar does not affect the melting point. The melting point of a substance is determined by its chemical composition and structure. However, adding sugar to a solution can affect its boiling point, but that is a different property.
Does temperature affect the growth of sugar or salt crystals?
I think the temperature affect salt crytals
What will freeze first. salt or sugar?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of sugar is 186 0C (over this temperature thermal degradation occur).
When put in a frying pan which would melt first sugar or table salt?
Sugar. You can caramelize sugar on a home stove quite easily. Salt's melting temperature, by contrast, is orders of magnitude higher
Does salt dissolve quicker than sugar?
No, sugar has a melting point of 161 degrees Celsius and salt has a melting point of 801 degrees Celsius
Materials for what melts the ice the fastest sugar or salt?
sugar - salt will lower the melting point.
Why sugar melts on heat and salt does not?
Salt will also melt but it requires a much higher temperature due to the higher lattice energy that salt has due to its strong ionic bonds. Melting Point of Sugar= 146 C Melting Point of Salt= 801 C
How do different concentrations of salt and sugar solutions affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt makes ice melt quicker and suger causes the ice to melt slower.
Did salt and sugar affect the boiling temperature of water exactly the same?
yes, but i couldn't tell you the mechanics of it.
What melts faster in boiling water salt or sugar cubes?
Neither since the melting point of sugar is 365 F and the melting point of salt is 1474 F
Why if you left an ice cube and salt at the sun the ice cube melts and the salt doesnt?
Because the melting temperature of the ice is 32°F and the melting temperature of the salt is 1,474°F.
