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 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.

How can you tell the difference between salt or sugar?

One is sweet and the other is salty. Other than that, white granulated sugar actually looks different from salt. If you ever look carefully at the two, it's noticeable that one is more fine than the other. I think that if you taste both of them, salt has a salty taste then sugar and sugar has a sweeter factor than salt. If you have a good sight of eyes then sugar is a little lighter than salt, or if you have a microscope then check what it looks like. Sometimes, the salt is different colour from suger(like brown sugar). Sugar also attracts insects, but salt wouldn't attract insects.
