Suspend a string into a glass of salt solution and allow the water to evaporate, the salt will collect on the string in crystals. Making rock candy can be done the same way if you use sugar instead.

There are two ways, the quick way, and the slow way.

Way One:

1) Find a glass, and fill it with hot water.

2) Add in regular table salt (just table salt because it's chemical composition is sodium chloride - Na + Cl)

3) Keep mixing in the table salt until the water can't absorb anymore salt.

4) Set the glass in the microwave and boil off all the water, or if you're one of the cautious ones, just set it out in the sun to evaporate.

Way Two:

1) Do same things as steps 1-3 in Way One, but after that take a pencil and tie a string to it. At the end of the string, tie a heavy object, but make sure it isn't metal because if it is, it will rust and give the water a horrid look and smell.

2) Drop your string into the center of the glass.

3) Set the glass in a sunny window, or a place where it won't be disturbed for at least a few weeks.

4) Extract your crystals.

The table salt by the way are already iodized salt crystals, but just crushed up into small pieces.

Evaporating slowly water from a sodium chloride solution we can obtain crystals.

How do you separate iodine crystals from table salt?

iodine crystals are black, table salt crystals are white.however I doubt that was your question. I think you are referring to iodized table salt. there are no iodine crystals in iodized salt, instead they add sodium iodide to the table salt. sodium iodide crystals are indistinguishable visually from the sodium chloride crystals of table salt.the only practical way to separate sodium iodide from sodium chloride is the very tedious repetitive process of dissolving the mixed salts and performing fractional crystallization of the solution.


Why does iodized salt grow more crystals than epsom salt?

Sodium chloride (iodized table salt has small amounts of potassium iodide added) is not as soluble as magnesium sulfate (epsom salts). As two solutions with the same concentration cool down the sodium chloride will reach saturation first and produce crystals.


How do you make condition about which dissolves faster rock salt or iodized salt?

A salt with fine granulation is dissolved faster; also the solubility increase with the temperature. Stirring improve the speed of dissolution. Any difference between iodized or not iodized salt.
