Salt isn't as soluble in cold solutions as warm solutions so it would precipitate out of solution in crystallized form.
Epsom salts are named after a surrey town in London, England. Epsom salt was originally prepared by boiling down mineral waters at Epsom. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsom
Not much. I heated epsom salt in the oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 min. It got a bit bigger and white. Epsom salt doesn't release poisonous gas and isn't poisonous, and it also doesn't explode.

Yes.
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!!!!!
No. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. It does not contain zinc.
Epsom salt crystals are prism shaped. Table Salt Crystals are cube shaped. :) Love Ya All! ♥♥♥ ~Stasiabear
Magnesium sulfate.
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.

Pure crystals are colorless.
Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate crystals.
yes, i have made these crystals with sugar also.
Salt Crystals can come in many forms, one such is a cubical formation.

No, they are not similar.
