No, sugar does not turn into salt, or salt into sugar. They have very different chemical makeups. Salt is composed of Sodium (symbol Na) and Chlorine (symbol Cl). Sugar is composed of Carbon (symbol C), Hydrogen (Symbol H), and Oxygen (Symbol O).

Salt is an ionic chemical compound, and sugar is an organic compound.

Surely it is not the same. Just taste a little bit table salt followed by some more table sugar: you'll know the difference forever.

Sugar and salt have different tastes. If, let's say McDonald's put sugar on their french fries instead of salt that would taste very strange. Sugar tastes sweet and salt has a sourish taste.

No. There is a definite crystal pattern seen in salt that is not present in sugar.


What melts ice cubes faster sugar or salt?

You will have to do an experiment to determine the answer. You will need to think about having equal concentrations of salt or sugar in the cubes. The size of the molecules/particles is different. So 100 g of salt does not have the same number of molecules/particles as 100 g of sugar. The ratio of particles is 1:4.6 for the same mass of sugar to salt. You can see that this is not an easy question to answer. Which melts faster if the mass of salt and sugar is the same? Which melts faster if the number of particles is the same? The next problem is that salt actually separates into two particles when dissolved in water, sodium ions and chloride ions whereas sugar does not. So one salt particle is actually two ions and the ratio of particles now becomes salt:sugar = 2.3:1 for the same mass of substances. This sounds like a great project for someone to investigate.


Does salt or sugar dissolve faster in cold or hot water?

Sugar sinks at the same rate in warm or cold water. Sugar dissolves faster in warm water.


Will 1 mol of sugar have the same effect as 1 mol of table salt in lowering the freezing point of water?

no because the mol of sugar is 34 g while salt's mol is 5.8 grams


Does sugar dissolve faster than salt when all other variables are the same?

Sugar dissolves in a liquid faster than salt does. The reason is that sugar is less dense as a solute than salt is, leading to it dissolving in the solvent faster as it would fit into the 'empty gaps' that the solvent has at a much faster rate, which is how substances dissolve.
