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.

∙ 11y agoThe melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
The melting point of sugar (sucrose) is significantly lower - is 186 0C.

What is the dissolving temperature of table sugar?
Table sugar or sucrose melts at about 186°C (367°F).
At room temperature table salt is a solid and mercury is a liquid what conclusion can you draw about the melting points of these substances?
The melting point oof salt is far higher then the melting point of acetone.
What is the melting point of zirconium?
Melting point - 2128 oK (1855 °C, 3371 °F) Boiling point - 4682 oK (4409 °C, 7968 °F) A link is provided to the periodic table posted by our friends at Wikipedia. This table is interactive, and each tile (that represents an element) is actually a link to the Wikipedia article on that element. Try it out on element 40, zirconium.
Why does table salt melts ice faster?
Because its melting point is roughly 1400 degrees
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
What properties could not be used to distinguish between table salt and table sugar?
color
Melting point sugar?
Table sugar is called sucrose and it melts at 185°C (365°F)
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.
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
Who has higher melting points ionic compounds or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds have higher melting points than covalent compounds. Common table salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic compound and has a melting point of 801 oC. Table sugar, sucrose, a covalent compound, has a melting point of about 186 oC.
What makes ice melt faster table salt sugar sand or pepper?
Salt - maximum change in melting point.
What is a table salt's melting point?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
What is the melting point of table salt?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
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 properties of table sugar?
Sugar, or sucrose is a colorless and odorless crystalline powder. Sucrose has a melting point at 186 degrees Celsius to form caramel colored liquid.
What happens to table salt when it reaches its melting point?
It just melts. Kinda like sugar, instead salt melts, not caramelizes.
