leave it to the pros
Well it depends. But im currently growing salt, suagr and borax crystals and my borax crystals formed first. So i guess my answer is No, borax crystals grow faster but dont take my answer as a fact i could be wrong.
Salt isn't as soluble in cold solutions as warm solutions so it would precipitate out of solution in crystallized form.
Yes, if you boil salt water away, you will be left with salt crystals.
Epsom salt crystals can basically grow to any size you want them to!! It all depends on how much salt and water you use. In addition, the amount of time you let the epsom salt crystal sit in the solution affects its growth. For example, if you let it sit for a month, it will be larger than if you had let it sit for only a few miniscule days. Good luck with your crystal!!!!!
salt
yes
leave it to the pros
Salt crystals form faster because they clump together, and they are more cubic so they are easier to grow. Sugar crystals, on the other hand, have more density than salt crystals so they take longer to grow.
yes
Salt is a more cubic element than sugar
In presence of salt the crystals grow faster because the solubility of salt decreases the solubility of any other compound in water.
salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar salt suger = sugar
No, the alum grows faster.
how does this help in real life
Pipe cleaners have more surface area per unit length than yarn, allowing more salt crystals to begin to form, which then grow together giving the appearance that the salt crystals are growing faster.
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.
