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.

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.


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


Why does salt melt ice cubes faster?

salt melts ice because it wants it to die


What melts faster salt or sugar?

salt because its structure is weaker than sugar tehe :)


What do you think melts ice faster salt sugar pepper?

Salt melts ice faster than sugar or pepper. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing it to turn into liquid water at a lower temperature than normal. Pepper and sugar do not have the same effect on ice as salt does.


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


Does salt or sugar melt faster?

Sugar melts faster than salt because sugar has a lower melting point than salt. Sugar typically begins to melt at around 320°F (160°C), whereas salt does not fully melt until it reaches temperatures exceeding 1,472°F (800°C).


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 happened when sawdust or sugar or salt is added to ice cube?

Adding sawdust to ice cubes will lower the melting point, slowing down the melting process. However, adding sugar or salt will cause the ice cubes to melt faster by lowering the freezing point of water through a process called freezing point depression.
