First off, the substance needs to be soluble in water, otherwise it won't form any crystals, it will just sit there and look a bit sad. It's also important to note that it helps if the substance is a solid.
When you dissolve enough of a substance in a certain volume of water, no more of it will dissolve. This is because the water can only hold so much dissolved substance and reaches a point called saturation, which is the point where no more substance will dissolve. At this point, keep adding more solid and supersaturation occurs. Basically, the solid has nowhere else to go but other bits of solid floating undissolved in solution. This causes them to clump together and they naturally form a crystalline structure (a method used in forming drug molecules for pharmaceuticals into tablets actually).
There's an answer, there's an example of when it occurs too for free. !

If mixing a substance with water forms a suspension does the substance have a high or low solubility in water?
low solubility
When salt and water are mix.is this a new substance?
Yes - in that the water is no longer pure... No - in that the salt can be reclaimed from the water by evaporation. The salt and the water are separate substances. The salt is said to be 'in suspension'.
Is iodine and water homogeneous or heterogeneous?
They are homogeneous. But they are not a mixture, so they are a pure substance
Is mixing food coloring with water a physical change?
Yes, because the chemicals within the substances do not change to create a new substance.
What do you get if you mix sodium hydroxide with sulphuric acid?
As sodium hydroxide is an alkaline and sulphuric acid is an acid; mixing the two will give a neutral substance. Just like water is neautral with a Ph balance of 7, the solution will then become neutral and balanced. Mixing any two acid and alkali together will give a neutral substance along with water.
If mixing a substance with water forms a suspension does the substance have a high or low solubility in water?
low solubility
What type of matter is in a beaker that has chloride crystals and water?
A pure substance
Is water a substance or a mixture Why did you say so?
water is a substance, made of oxygen and hydrogen, because mixing ox and hyd would give nothing but explosion, water is an effect of chemical reaction, not only mixing gases
What substance is formed when 0.1M silver nitrate was mixed in water with salt?
crystals
Which will form crystals faster Gatorade or water?
Gatorade will form crystals faster because it contains electrolytes, which are a form of salt. Salts are crystals, thus your answer. Pure water will not form crystals at all unless it reacts with another substance.
How does squishy bath turn back into water?
salt crystals insidle tthe substance
Do oil and water make a new substance?
No. After mixing them, they settle into two separate layers (oil above the water) without any new substance formed.
Crystals can form as water evaporates or if too much of a substance is dissolved in water?
Water being evaporated salts remain as residues.
Why does vegetable oil melt ice?
Mixing almost any substance with water will lower its freezing point. When you mix vegetable oil with ice, the long molecules disrupt the ice crystals forming, thus lowering the freezing point and cause it to melt.
Turbidity current density results from water mixing with what substance?
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid. Turbidity current density results from water mixing with sediment particles.
How do you grow big crystals?
If you use ammonium phosphate you can make large crystals by mixing it with hot water the slower it cools the larger the crystal formed check online for more details
Why did the potassium permanganate crystals start to dissolve in water without being stirred?
because the substance in the potassium permanganate crystals are permeable to water, so that means it will dissolve instantly while poured into water Save
