What is crystallisation of salts?
When there is no more solute can be dissolved in a solution, a saturated solution is obtained. When a hot saturation solution is cooled down the solute will come out in solid form as a crystal. Small crystals will be found in fast cooling. If we hang a small crystal in a h ot saturated solution it will grow bigger when it cools slowly.

What is in instant heat packs?
Instant heat packs contain a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate that heats up when the crystallization process is started by flexing a metal disc embedded in the liquid. Since the liquid is supersaturated (concentration of a solution beyond saturation point), flexing the notched ferrous metal disc makes the solution crystallize suddenly, thereby releasing the energy of the crystal lattice.
What factors causes the difference in the size of crystals formed?
factors include: saturation, rate of cooling, temperature, and the crystal itself...
What is the original solution if a crystal is added to an aqueous solution causes many particles to come out of the solution?
Supersaturated.
A solution that contains all the solute that it can hold is a what solution?
That is called a saturated solution. It has reached a point where it can no longer dissolve any more solute (thing to be dissolved) in the solvent.This is more info you might find interesting:Keep in mind compounds dissolve at different rates in solvent. This rate is dependent on heat; goes faster with more. To be sure its not the dissolve rate but saturation you'll need to give it time. Of course a quick fix for a saturated solution is to add more solvent.Unless the goal is to be saturated, like in hand warmers. An example of a super saturated solution. Crystal sodium acetate trihydrate is dissolved in water until the saturation point. It is heated to force more to dissolve and then is allowed to cool down. Once it has cooled the sodium acetate (NaOAc) is still dissolved in solution but is now unstable and easily recrystallized. If even a single crystal more NaOAc is added the entire solution will recrystallize. This recrystallization actually has a surprising effect. It produces heat as an exothermic reaction. That is why this property is used in hand warmers.
How would you test for the saturation of the solution?
The solution which is saturated cannot dissolve more solute in it.So when the solutes stops dissolving in the solution the solution is saturated.You can drop a crystal of solute in the solution and the crystal do not dissolve then the solution is saturated.

What is One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution if the crystal sits at the bottom of the container the solution is?
You have to heat it. When the solute is at a higher temperature, it will dissolve more matter (for most solutions) When all the crystals are dissolved, you let it sit in COLD water (UNDISTURBED) for 5min. then, you drop a crystal, and it will crystallize. Unstaturated: when you put crystals and it easily dissolves Saturated: when some of the crystals sit at the bottom Supersaturated: when any disturbance makes it crystallize
Why the amount of saturated solution decreses when forming crystals?
Crystals form when the solution has been pushed past its saturation point; this can most easily be done by "seeding" the solution or by chilling it (because temperature decreases solubility). As the crystal forms, the solute (dissolved substance) is drawn out of solution, lowering the concentration of the overall solution.
What materials are needed to form salt crystals?
It will need solute to dissolve salt, heating equipment to raise the saturation concentration and later reduce the temperature and cause supersaturated solution that would be ready to crystallized. A nucleus (usually a tiny but perfect crystal) may be introduced providing for a better quality crystal formation.
What will be the initial solution if a crystal was added to an aqueous solution and was dissolved in the solution?
supersatureated
Do the crystals precipitated from a solution have unique crystal forms?
Crystals precipitated from a solution has unique crystal forms. These are formed with the subsequent growth in its nuclei and the solution contains more solute entities that impacts the crystal formation.Ê
If crystal solute was dropped into a solution and it was dissolved The original solution was?
If the crystal solute was dropped into a solution and it was dissolved, the original solution was unsaturated. Unsaturated solutions are able to dissolve more solute.
If a seed crystal was added to a supersaturated solution how would you characterize the resulting solution?
If a seed crystal was added to a supersaturated solution, the resulting solution would be a crystallized solution. The formation of solid crystals that precipitate from a solution is called crystallization.
Why is a ruby considered to be a solution?
Ruby is not a solution, it is a crystal. Solutions are liquid

What steps can you take to maximize crystal size?
There are two things that you can do to maximize the growth of a crystal. You can place a rock inside crystal solution or put the solution inside an eggshell. Calcium carbonite from the rocks and eggshell encourages crystal growth.
