What is crystalllization?

Answer 1

The process of recrystallization relies on the property that for most compounds, as the temperature of a solvent increases, the solubility of the compound in that solvent also increases. For example, much more table sugar can be dissolved in very hot water (just below the boiling point) than in water at room temperature. What will happen if a concentrated solution of hot water and sugar is allowed to cool to room temperature? As the temperature of the solution decreases, the solubility of the sugar in the water also decreases, and the sugar molecules will begin to crystallize out of the solution. (This is how rock candy is made.) This is the basic process that goes on in the recrystallization of a solid.

Answer 2

recrystallisation is where rocks melt and reforn for example a sedimentry rock melt and recrystallises into a metamorphic rock, and metamorphic rocks melt into lava and cool/recrystalize into an igneous rock...

Answer 3

Recrystallization is a procedure that is used in the purification of the impure compounds in a given solvent. During the recrystallization process, the compound and the impurities are usually dissolved in an appropriate solvent. When the compound precipitates out, the crystals are usually left behind.

Answer 4

Crystallization is defined as the act or process of crystals forming. It is a noun, not a verb, and can be used to describe what occurred to form the crystals. For instance: The crystallization of water is the reason it expands as it freezes.

Answer 5

it iswhen you take dissolve a solvent into a solution that is very hot then you cool it down and crystals form...this is recrystallization OS a solid.

Answer 6

Crystallization can result in both intrusive and extrusive igneous rock.

Answer 7

The process in which solids are extracted from liquids by heating them and then cooling them is called crystallization.
