I really know actually! all i know is that i'm doing it for my science project! and it's made by seed crystals.
No the color of rock color candy does not change the speed in which it grows.
No, crystals are chemical compounds that are not considered to be alive.
Rock candy (pure sugar crystals).
Castlemaine, Victoria......................shops in and around............Bendigo............Vline stations and trains
It has to do with the shape molecular formula of the compound that it is created from.
rock candy is formed in a supersaturated solution of sugar & water.
some say it was around 200 C.E but actually that was when the crystals were discoverd but the candy was first made in the 18 century
the water evaporates leaving sugar crystals
Rock candy typically needs to be left in a jar for about 7 to 14 days, depending on the desired size of the crystals. During this time, the sugar solution slowly evaporates, allowing crystals to form on the string or stick. It's important to check periodically to ensure the crystals are growing to your preference. Once the desired size is achieved, you can remove the candy and let it dry before enjoying it.
No, you don't need to put something metal to make rock candy crystals. Rock candy is made by dissolving sugar in boiling water and then allowing the solution to cool and crystallize. Some people use a wooden stick or a string as a nucleus for the sugar crystals to form, but metal is not necessary and may even interfere with the crystallization process.
It may be that the nylon is to smooth to provide a platform for the crystals to form.
