Why does sugar melt faster than salt?

sugar melts faster because of the intermolecular attractions between the molecules. Salt is a chemical where all the molecules are bonded together, and this forms a lattice. (Look up lattice in a search engine) Seperating the molecules from each other is what makes a chemical melt. However, since all the salt molecules are bonded together, it's VERY difficult to separate the molecules (aka. make it melt.) Sugar molecules are not bonded together and have very little attraction forces among them, so it's very easy to separate the molecules from each other. Therefore, it's VERY easy to melt.


Why does ice melt when salt is added?

A2. The freezing point of salt water is lower than that of fresh, so when salt is added, it interacts with the ice to make salt water.
