What can i write for a hypothesis when growing table salt and epsom salt crystals my big question is which substance will grow bigger crystals table salt or epsom salts?
Science123444
You make a prediction based on something you know. So I know that table salt is sodium chloride (2 atoms). Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) which is 6 atoms. If we assume that the crystals grow at the same rate (same number of molecules per minute), then my prediction would be the Magnesium Sulfate will make bigger crystal structure, because of the bigger molecules. So I would expect the Epsom Salts to grow much faster - maybe up to 3 times faster. That would be a hypothesis that is testable and measurable.

How does fractional crystallization help in removing the impurities from a solid substance?
The impurities grab on to the growing crystals
What is the dependent variable for growing crystals?
The growth or size of the crystals.
What effect does water temperature have on growing crystals?
If the temprature of water is increased the crystals would not be formed because they would be dissolved.
What might prevent sugar crystals from growing in a solution of a sugar and water?
There is a bit of water left with some dissolvedsugar in it, therefore that stops the sugar crystals forming
Grass growing in a lawnphysical or chemical change?
Grass growing in a lawn is a physical change because the origonal substance still exists. :) good luck!

Are Growing crystals dead living or inorganic?
They're inorganic. The crystals 'grow' by molecules of the same substance in the surrounding liquid sticking to the 'seed' crystal.
What is the dependent variable for growing crystals?
The growth or size of the crystals.
What are the best science projects to make?
growing crystals
How does pH affect the growth of crystals crystal growing?
No
What effect does surface texture have on growing crystals?
well if ur growing it on a rock or anything outside and natural tht surface will grow the crystals. n the crystals cud mold into the shape of the surface. other than tht, no effect

How does crystallization form?
crystals form from molten rock as the molten rock cools. if the molten rock cools very fast then you may have small crystals growing or no crystals at all. if the molten rockk colls slowly then you then you have large crystals growing. this happens when the molten material is deep in the earth. examples of these types of crystals are Rubies, Emeralds, and Diamonds. crystals may also form when water is evaporated. salt crystals are an example as they form when salt water evaporates.
How big are alum crystals after growing for 2 weeks?
Adding alum to hot tap water until it no longer dissolves, will create a solution that will allow crystals to form as it evaporates. The size the crystals will be for 2 weeks will depend on growing conditions and if any solution is left.
Are quartz crystals still growing?
It depends on what you mean. Are there quartz crystals on earth that are growing today? Yes. Is that quartz crystal in your rock collection still growing? No. Quartz crystals often form when water with super concentrated silica in it comes into contact with a surface (such as a very small crystal) onto which the silica can precipitate. Crystals also form when magma/lava cools and the different elements in the mixture differentiate into various minerals.
Why do we need crystals?
Learn how to make crystals. This is a collection of easy crystal growing recipes, with photos of what the crystals look like and tips for how to make your crystals a success.Sugar Crystals or Rock CandyAnne Helmenstine Rock candy or sugar crystals are especially good to grow because you can eat the finished crystals! The basic recipe for these crystals is:3 cups sugar1 cup boiling waterYou can add food coloring or flavoring to the liquid, if you want. It's easiest to grow these crystals on a thick string hanging from a pencil or knife into the solution. For best results, remove any crystals that aren't growing on your string.
