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.

Why does salt dissolve faster in cold water than sugar dissolves in cold water?
Sugar dissolves in water faster than salt because of the structure and bonding of its atoms. The atoms of Sugar are bound very loosely whereas the atoms of salt are tightly bonded as compared to the sugar atoms. That is why sugar dissolves faster than salt.
Does sugar melt ice?
It doesn't melt faster but it does melt at a lower temperature. This is because the sugar molecules mix in with the water molecules and prevent them from organizing to form a solid. For more information, look up 'colligative properties,' these are the properties of solutions.
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.
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.
Which dissolves fastest in water do sugar or salt?
Sugar dissolves faster than salt. When a substance dissolves into another substance, it turns into a solution. The substance that is dissolved is the solute.
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
What melts ice cubes faster table salt or sand?
Table Salt.
What melts ice cubes faster sugar salt or food dye?
Salt would melt the ice cube faster because if you have noticed, people put down salt to melt the ice.
Why does salt melt ice cubes faster?
salt melts ice because it wants it to die
What do you think melts ice faster salt sugar pepper?
sugar melts ice the fastest. i did a science experiment and my question was does salt sugar or pepper melt ice faster and my answer was sugar try it
Does salt or sugar melt faster?
When sugar is in water, it dissolves faster than salt does. I do not know the scientific reason why, but sugar melts faster.
What melts faster salt or sugar?
salt because its structure is weaker than sugar tehe :)
Why don't sugar connect with water faster than salt?
Salt has like organisms that melts faster than sugar where as sugar has those organism but not as much
What melts ice faster salt sugar or chalk?
Salt will melt ice faster than sugar or chalk. This is why most people will apply salt to icy sidewalks as opposed to sugar or chalk.
Do ice cubes melt faster when salt is added?
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it
Which melts ice cubes faster sand salt pepper?
Salt because the salt with ice or water turns into a new compound and lowers its freezing point.
What does salt do to iced water?
Salt melts ice cubes.
