You are provided with a fine white coloured powder which is either sugar or salt. How would you identify it without testing?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are many ways by which we can differentiate between sugar and salt without testing not be dissolved.
ii) Heat these salts separately, sugar will melt readily while salt will not.
iii) Dissolve these two separately in water. Salt solution will conduct electricity due to the presence of `Na^(+)` ion and `Cl^(-)` while sugar solution will be a non-conductor. So, simply test a drop of the solution with an ohmmeter and you can immediately tell the difference.
