Heat a saturated solution of copper sulfate and water (saturated means it is can not disolve any more) when this is heated pour into a beaker and let it cool at air temp. slowly. DO NOT COOL IT OR HEAT IT! it will take about a week.

∙ 12y agoThe easiest way would be to create a saturated solution of alum in very hot water. (You use hot rather than cold because solubility increases with temperature.) Pour it into a big dish, so you get lots of surface area, and leave it alone until all the water evaporates.

Do salt crystals grow faster than alum crystals?
No, the alum grows faster.
Do alum crystals grow better in dark or light?
The dark
How does alum affect paper?
Paper sheet having small undissolved alum crystals
How does hydrated potassium alum visually compare to the anhydrous form?
Alum crystals turn into a solid mass of anhydrous alum
How long to make alum crystals?
it depends on how big you want it. if u only do the process once then only a couple of hours
Do salt crystals grow faster than alum crystals?
No, the alum grows faster.
Which two crystals grow fastest?
Alum crystals and sugar crystals grow at the same rate at an increasing time rate making them grow the fastest
Do alum crystals grow better in dark or light?
The dark
What chemicals make crystals grow the largest?
i like alum, and copper sulphate.
How can you make pure crystals of alum from impure alum?
To make pure crystals of alum from impure alum, start by dissolving the impure alum in warm water. Filter the solution to remove any impurities, and then cool the filtered solution slowly. As the solution cools, pure alum crystals will start to form. Carefully collect the crystals and allow them to dry to obtain pure crystals of alum.
What is a substitute for borax in crystal growing?
A substitute that I have seen for in making crystals is alum. It seems to be a great way to grow them.
What cations can be used to make alum crystals?
either Aluminum or Boron are used in the synthesis of alum crystals
What will happen if you use salt instead of sugar to make crystals?
You will be aggravated by the difficulty in getting good crystals to grow if you use table salt. If you can get hold of some alum or copper (II) sulfate, both of those salts grow crystals well.
How would you test for potassium and sulfate ions in the alum?
by adding acids in alum crystals
