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.

Melting point sugar?

Table sugar is called sucrose and it melts at 185°C (365°F)


What apparatus can be used to determine the melting point of sugar?

1) Experiment. 2) Ask the question on here. "What is the melting point of sugar?" *)I'll save you the trouble, though. The melting point of Table sugar (sucrose)= around 366.8°F or 186°C


Does NaCl have high melting point?

No , table salt (sodium chloride) has a melting point of 801°C


Which is more stable towards heat salt or sugar?

The melting point of table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is 801oC. The melting point of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) is 186oC. You can melt sugar and even scorch it in your kitchen, but you can't do that with salt. So salt is more stable towards heat.


Can boiling point be distinguished between table salt and table sugar?

No, because you can't boil sugar. It will decompose beforehand. However, you can distinguish sugar and salt by heating them. Sugar will melt and decompose before 300 Celsius. Salt will not melt until ~800 Celsius


What is the melting point of table salt?

The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.

What happens to table salt when it reaches its melting point?

It just melts. Kinda like sugar, instead salt melts, not caramelizes.


What is the dissolving temperature of table sugar?

Table sugar or sucrose melts at about 186°C (367°F).


Is the melting point of table salt physical or chemical property?

The melting point is a physical property.


What makes ice melt faster table salt sugar sand or pepper?

Table salt makes ice melt faster. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt by dissolving into the liquid water and disrupting the hydrogen bond between water molecules. Sugar, sand, and pepper do not have the same effect on ice melting as salt.


Lowest melting point?

W on the periodic table. the element with the highest melting/boiling point is tungsten.
