Best Answer

salt or sugar would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point.

The salt or sugar would reduce the partial pressure of water in the solution (essentially more competition), effectively raising the boiling point.

Sugar is a hydrophilic (water-loving) molecule, so when it is added to water it will form intermolecular dipole-dipole bonds with the water molecules.

To change phase from liquid to gas, the water molecules must break all intermolecular bonds and become "free molecules".

By increasing the number of intermolecular bonds, it takes more energy to break the bonds and boil the water. Therefore, adding sugar to water will increase the boiling point.
