Sugar should weigh more than salt. Although the difference may be difficult to measure. Here's why: salt, common table salt is sodium chloride. It has a molar mass of 58.443 g/mol. Sugar, common sugar, is typically what sucrose is referred to. Sucrose is a large organic molecule, with a molar mass of 342.30 g/mol. Greater mass, greater weight.

∙ 9y agoThe density of a pure salt crystal is 2,165 g/cm3. This is a true density.
The density of fine powdered salt (apparent density) is variable: approx.
1 g/cm3.
The density of sugar (sucrose) is 1,587 g/cm3.

Salts weights more than sugar because salts has 25percent weights greater than sugar per teaspoon .
And salt also has a greater density because salt has 65400 molecules and sugar has only 45760.

∙ 7y agoIt depends on the quantity. A drop of water weighs less than a sack of salt. Conversely, a pinch of salt weighs less than a tubful of water.

Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.
What is more polar salt or sugar?
Salt is much more polar than sugar. Salt is in fact ionic. Sugar is organic.
Why is citric acid more soluble than salt and sugar?
salt is actually soluble than citric acid and sugar
Which dissolves in hot water salt or sugar?
Both sugar and salt dissolve in hot water. However because sugar has OH groups it is polar and more easily dissolved than salt
How can you tell the difference between salt or sugar?
One is sweet and the other is salty. Other than that, white granulated sugar actually looks different from salt. If you ever look carefully at the two, it's noticeable that one is more fine than the other. I think that if you taste both of them, salt has a salty taste then sugar and sugar has a sweeter factor than salt. If you have a good sight of eyes then sugar is a little lighter than salt, or if you have a microscope then check what it looks like. Sometimes, the salt is different colour from suger(like brown sugar). Sugar also attracts insects, but salt wouldn't attract insects.
Which has more crystals salt or sugar?
Based on observing salt is more crystalize than sugar
Can water dissolve more sugar or salt?
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.

Does three scoops of salt weigh the same amount as three scoops of sugar in the same volume of water?
No, sugar is heavier than salt.
Why sugar crystals grow faster than salt crystals?
Salt is a more cubic element than sugar
Why is citric acid more soluble than salt and sugar?
salt is actually soluble than citric acid and sugar
Why does salt freeze slower than sugar?
Salt water freezes slower than sugar because salt water has more molecules than sugar...so it drops the temp and the process of freezing
Does sugar occur more naturally than salt?
No.
Does one cup of salt weigh more than a cup of milk?
No.
Why does salt dissolve slower than sugar in vinegar?
The particles in Sugar are much more loosely spread than the particles in Salt. Because of this, Vinegar breaks down Sugar faster than Salt. You should find this with most liquids, not just vinegar.
