Materials for what melts the ice the fastest sugar or salt?

sugar - salt will lower the melting point.


What effect does sugar have on ice?

yes but not to the same extent. solutes prevent ice formation by lowering the melting point of water. sugar water does have a lower melting point than pure water but it is not as effective as simpler salts because it is less soluble. (conc. of solutes is related to the melting point)


Why is the boiling point of fluorine very cold?

Because the melting point is even lower


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.


Can melting point distinguish table salt and table sugar?

Salt or NaCl, has much stronger inter-molecular bonds that form a giant ionic structure in a tight latice. This is because NaCl molecules form stronger bonds than C12H22O11 because NaCl is smaller and it consists of fewer molecules. Being a compound of sodium which is a highly reactive and strong element, salt is much more stable than the carbon compound of sugar. Melting only requires breaking the intermolecular bonds which is difficult in sodium's case.


Would the melting point of caesium be higher or lower then sodium?

The melting point of cesium is lower than that of sodium. Cesium has a melting point of 28.4°C, while sodium has a melting point of 97.8°C.


What has a lower melting point than ionic solids?

Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.


Why acetone lowers the boiling point of water whereas salt and sugar raise the boiling point and lower the melting point?

Acetone is a liquid with a boiling point lower than that of water; the other two are solids.


What usually has a lower melting point than ionic solids?

Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.


Which has a lower melting point HFor HBr?

HBr has a lower melting point of -86.8 degrees C. HF has a melting point of -83 degrees C.


Why does chocolate melt faster than gold?

Because it has a lower melting point.


How does the boiling point affect sugar water?

salt or sugar would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point. The salt or sugar would reduce the partial pressure of water in the solution (essentially more competition), effectively raising the boiling point.
