Answer.

There are many ways by which we can differentiate between sugar and salt without testing. We can identify the powder by heating. The powder will char if it is a sugar. Dissolve salt and sugar separately in alcohol, sugar will be dissolved in it while salt will not be dissolved. the powder can be dissolved in water and checked for electrical conductivity. If it conducts, then the powder is salt.
