Atoms and Molecules

Short Answer Type

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

On heating the powder, it will char if it is a sugar. Alternatively, the powder may be dissolved in water and checked for its conduction of electricity. If it conducts, it is a salt.
