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
crystals, grown from sugar
It may be that the nylon is to smooth to provide a platform for the crystals to form.
Well, I'm doing a science fair project on rock candy and my crystals seem to take about a week to grow. It depends on what type of crystals you are growing. I am growing rock candy, but if you are trying to grow real crystals it could take a couple of weeks or even months,.
You dont. When you boil it in water, the sugar dissolves. Then let cool and evaporate and provide a crystallization seed, e.g. a thread. The sugar will cristallize out in large crystals as rock candy.
