How do you suppose a halite is crystals formed?
Halite crystals are formed by evaporation from solution. To try this at home, boil some water, add salt until no more will dissolve, and let cool. Crystal growing is fun!
Why does halite dissolve in water?
Halite is the mineral form of the common salt. It dissolves in water because water is a polar molecule and halite contains an ionic bond, which makes it water soluble.
How do halite deposits form?
The mineral halite is formed when it crystallizes upon the evaporation of a solution that is supersaturated in the elements necessary for its formation, sodium and chlorine.
Do halite crystals form when fresh water evaporates?
Halite is rock salt. Even some fresh water lakes have Na+ and Cl- dissolved in them, so I would guess that yes, some halite forms. But probably not all that much compared to a salt lake evaporating.
How big are alum crystals after growing for 2 weeks?
Adding alum to hot tap water until it no longer dissolves, will create a solution that will allow crystals to form as it evaporates. The size the crystals will be for 2 weeks will depend on growing conditions and if any solution is left.
Why are gypsum and halite called evaporite sediments?
Gypsum and Halite are evaporites because they are formed through the evaporation of water to form crystals.
What happened to the salt crystals when you mixed it with water?
it dissolves
Can halite mineral be formed in the house?
Yes, it can be dumped out of your salt shaker. If you want to grow crystals, simply make a supersaturated solution of salt and hot water, and let it cool.
When sugar dissolves in the water water is the what?
Sucrose solution, a sweet solution
What is a solvent solution?
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt.
When halite dissolves in water what happens to the chlorine?
Dissolving sodium chloride in water, chlorine become a cation: NaCl---------Na+ + Cl-
When salt dissolves in water it is said to be?
