How do you make large salt crystals for a salt grinder from fine table salt?
Well, I remember when i was a child, i used to take water and sugar and mix it in a jar, then i would tie a peice of string around a stick then place the stick horizontally over the top of the jar, and let the string dangle into the sugar water. After the watter evaporated there would be sugar crystals. I'm not sure if this will work but its worth a try! :) Hope this helps!
What conditions are needed to grow crystals?
Crystals that form from supersaturated solutions need a nucleus to grow onto, either the existing crystals or a different structure.ExperimentTo grow a sugar crystal, tie a string to a pencil. Balance the pencil horizontally on top of the jar full of sugar water, with the string hanging in it. After some time (hours), crystals of sugar will precipitate onto the string.
Can you put sugar crystals in the freezer two speed up the time?
I don't know but here are some tips: Saturation A fully saturated solution will allow crystals to grow faster and bigger. Saturation refers to the amount of sugar molecules in the solution; the more sugar, the more saturated it is. There is a limit to saturation because the water can only hold so much sugar. Add more sugar, 1 tbsp. at a time to the hot water until the sugar can no longer dissolve. Stop adding the sugar when it begins to pool on the bottom, even when it is reheated and stirred. Seed Crystals Using seed crystals will help speed up the sugar crystal growth. Seed crystals are like starter crystals; they are an advanced boost and will make your crystal form faster than just using a bare string or stick. A seed can be made using a string or a large piece of melted, hardened sugar. To make a seed, dip the string or stick into the saturated sugar solution and allow it to harden completely. When dry, lower the seeded string into the jar. Waiting The best tip for growing sugar crystals is to wait. The longer you wait, the larger the crystal will grow. A crystal should form after one week, and after two to three weeks it will be much larger. Have patience and place a protective covering such as foil or plastic wrap over the jar to protect it from air and dust.
How do you make bigger sugar crystals?
You mean, like the crystals you get when you put a seed crystal of sugar on the end of a string and put the string into a saturated sugar solution? (This is how to make rock candy. It's really cool. You should try it.) The longer you leave the crystals in the saturated solution, the larger they'll get.
How do you make crystals?
ALUM CRYSTALS you can find alum in a grocery store under 'spices' it is used for pickleingPour 1/2 cup of hot tap water into a clean jar.Slowly stir in alum, a little at a time, until it stops dissolving. Don't add the whole amount - just enough to saturate the water.Loosely cover the jar with a coffee filter or paper towel (to keep dust out) and allow the jar to sit undisturbed overnight.The next day, pour the alum solution from the first jar into the clean jar. You will see small alum crystals at the bottom of the jar. These are 'seed' crystals that you will use to grow a big crystal.Tie nylon fishing line around the largest, best-shaped crystal. Tie the other end to a flat object (e.g., popsicle stick, ruler, pencil, butter knife). You will hang the seed crystal by this flat object into the jar far enough so that it will be covered in liquid, but won't touch the bottom or sides of the jar. It may take a few tries to get the length just right.When you have the right string length, hang the seed crystal in the jar with the alum solution. Cover it with the coffee filter and grow a crystal!Grow your crystal until you are satisfied with it. If you see crystals starting to grow on the sides or bottom of your jar, carefully remove your crystal, pour the liquid into the clean jar, and put the crystal in the new jar. Other crystals in the jar will compete with your crystal for alum, so it won't be able to get as big if you let these crystals grow.Tips:You can use sewing thread or other string instead of nylon fishing line, but crystals will grow on the entire length of the submerged string. Crystals don't adhere to nylon, so if you use it, you can get bigger, better crystals.Alum is an ingredient used to make pickles. It makes them crispy.What You Need:1/2 c hot tap water2-1/2 T alumnylon fishing linepencil, ruler, or knife2 clean jarsspooncoffee filter/paper towelFOR SUGAR CRYSTALS:What You Need:1 cup water3 cups table sugar (sucrose)clean glass jarpencil or butter knifestringGather your materials.You may wish to grow a seed crystal, a small crystal to weight your string and provide a surface for larger crystals to grow onto. A seed crystal is not necessary as long as you are using a rough string or yarn.Tie the string to a pencil or butter knife. If you have made a seed crystal, tie it to the bottom of the string. Set the pencil or knife across the top of the glass jar and make sure that the string will hang into the jar without touching its sides or bottom. However, you want the string to hang nearly to the bottom. Adjust the length of the string, if necessary.Boil the water. If you boil your water in the microwave, be very careful removing it to avoid getting splashed!Stir in the sugar, a teaspoonful at a time. Keep adding sugar until it starts to accumulate at the bottom of the container and won't dissolve even with more stirring. This means your sugar solution is saturated. If you don't use a saturated solution, then your crystals won't grow quickly. On the other hand, if you add too much sugar, new crystals will grow on the undissolved sugar and not on your string.If you want colored crystals, stir in a few drops of food coloring.Pour your solution into the clear glass jar. If you have undissolved sugar at the bottom of your container, avoid getting it in the jar.Place the pencil over the jar and allow the string to dangle into the liquid.Set the jar somewhere where it can remain undisturbed. If you like, you can set a coffee filter or paper towel over the jar to prevent dust from falling into the jar.Check on your crystals after a day. You should be able to see the beginnings of crystal growth on the string or seed crystal.Let the crystals grow until they have reached the desired size or have stopped growing. At this point, you can pull out the string and allow the crystal to dry. You can eat them or keep them. Have fun!If you are having trouble growing sugar crystals, you may want to try some special techniques. A video tutorial showing how to make rock candy is available, too.Tips:Crystals will form on a cotton or wool string or yarn, but not on a nylon line. If you use a nylon line, tie a seed crystal to it to stimulate crystal growth.If you are making the crystals to eat, please don't use a fishing weight to hold your string down. The lead from the weight will end up in the water -- it's toxic. Paper clips are a better choice, but still not great.
What are sugar crytal?
Sugar Crystals is boiled sugar that has growed on a string or stick!
How does candy work?
it takes the sugar crystals and causes them to form together on the stick/string.

What are the results of the rock candy experiment?
Normally they should grow on the stick or string and that is if you do it properly but it is quite likely that the crystals will grow on the base of the container/glass
How to make a crystal?
Take normal sugar and add it to boiling water. Add as much as the water will hold. Put a string or thin stick in the mixture and let it cool and set for many days. The resulting crystals are an example of how nature makes crystals over much longer timescales. If you want a bigger crystal, repeat the experiment while letting the string or stick from the previous experiment bathe in the mixture.

Why do salt crystals form along the string?
Because the strings absorbs it
