Sugar is a simple molecule, the most common of sugars is made up of SUCROSE.

Sucrose is a combination of 2 molecules, GLUCOSE and FRUCTOSE. It is joined by a rather weak GLYCOSIDIC BOND.

Butter contains many more molecules, including lipids and sugars. Lipids are joined using Hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bonds are still quite weak, but stronger than the glycosidic bonds of the sugar. Also, as the sugar is a simpler molecule, it has less to break down.

Water does not melt it boils and subsequently evaporates. Fat melts at very low temperatures and boils at a lower temperature then water due to the lactosis content it contains.

What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or sugar?

You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."

Butter melts faster than ice because fats in the butter require less energy to move up a degree when compared to ice


Does brown sugar melt faster than white sugar in hot water?

Sugar of either color does not "melt" in hot water but rather dissolves; brown sugar has some impurities which are not so soluble in water, so that white sugar will seem to dissolve faster.

Sugar melts faster in hot tea because the heat of the water causes it to melt more quickly. Iced water is very cold and the sugar takes longer to dissolve.
