What are the science concept to rock candy?
rock candy is formed in a supersaturated solution of sugar & water.
What are the related science concept to rock candy?
rock candy is formed in a supersaturated solution of sugar & water.
Is candy a saturated or an unsaturated?
That depends what type or kind, for instance, rock candy is made from supersaturated fats. Hope that helped
What is the constant variable in Rock Candy?
Saturation of sugar solution.
Crystallization is a separation technique used to produce rock candy from a sugar solution.?
Yes.
Can you make rock candy with sugar and water?
Yes, dissolve sugar in water until you have a saturated solution (ie no more sugar will dissolve) and let stand sufficiently long for the sugar to crystallize out again as the water evaporates. (This will take days to weeks).
Does sugar water have to be heated to create rock candy?
yes it has to be heated in water in a supersaturated solution.
Is making a rock candy by evaporating water from a sugar solution a physical or chemical change?
physical
How can you describe the equilibrium in a saturated solution?
No. A saturated solution is still in equilibrium. If you bring it into contact with more of the solute, the concentration will remain the same. Solute will precipitate out at the same rate that more solute dissolves into the solution. An unstable equilibrium would be a supersaturated solution. In a supersaturated solution, more of the solute is in solution that would be equilibrium with the solid solute (or gas if you are dissolving gas for example). An example that many people are familiar with is dissolving a lot of sugar into hot water. As it cools down, the solution becomes supersaturated. As long as there is nothing for the sugar to nucleate on , the sugar can remain in solution indefinitely. If you hang a string in the solution, the sugar will start crystalizing on the string, forming "rock candy."

How do you make bigger sugar crystals?
You mean, like the crystals you get when you put a seed crystal of sugar on the end of a string and put the string into a saturated sugar solution? (This is how to make rock candy. It's really cool. You should try it.) The longer you leave the crystals in the saturated solution, the larger they'll get.
Is rock candy a rock?
No. Rock candy is crystallized sugar.
