Due to bonding in elements salt has stronger bond but suger has weaker. If we take grinded suger it will take less time.

I think it shouuld be common salt. Thank you.

Sugar is correct ans. b'coz it has -OH group which has a partial negetive charge
When this partial -ve charge comes in contact with partial +ve bar of oxygen of H2O forms a new bond & also forms a shield arond it.
This shield protect it 4rm rest of sugar molecule & helps it to avoid becoming again sugar crystal.

In case of NaCl only few particles disolves & again regain there orignal str'.

Thank you Nikhil, Shoaib and Janvi for giving the information.

Sugar is chemically called sucrose, which is easily soluble in water.

I did this experiment and sugar is the most soluble in boiling hot water.

This was my experiment:.

Sugar: I had to stir each tea spoon of sugar for quite a while but amazingly it was the most soluble out of all the substances I put in the boiling hot water. I put 7 teaspoons of sugar into half a glass of boiling hot water.

Salt: On the 1st tea spoon the salt dissolved really quickly so I thought that it would be the most soluble but at the 3rd tea spoon it wouldn't dissolve anymore.

Salt is an ionic compound -- that is, the sodium and chloride parts are charged particles, Na+ and Cl-. The.
Bonds that join these ions in the crystal are very strong. That's why salt is so very hard to melt. Sugar.
Melts easily because the bonds that hold those molecules together in the solid (crystalline state) are much.
Weaker.

Sugar having formula (C12H22O11), it consist of covalent bond between C-H,

Salt having formula (NaCl) , it consist of Ionic bond between Na-Cl,

For C-H Bond energy is 413 KJ/Mol.

For Na-Cl Bond energy is 756 KJ/Mol.

From this above values of bond energies, sugar is Most soluble than salt.

How is sugar most soluble in water than NaCl?

NaCl is an ionic compound.

Sugar and salt are equally soluble in water. Why did they give sugar as the answer?
