Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt makes ice to melt faster than it usual. Sugar is another substance that influences the melting time of ice.

If i have a sample of pure ice and another sample of ice treated with sugar. I have to maintain the both initially at 0 degrees temperature and have a stop clock to measure the melting time.

I will ultimately notice that the sample of ice treated with sugar will melt faster than the pure sample of ice due to the presence of an impurity.
