First off, the substance needs to be soluble in water, otherwise it won't form any crystals, it will just sit there and look a bit sad. It's also important to note that it helps if the substance is a solid.
When you dissolve enough of a substance in a certain volume of water, no more of it will dissolve. This is because the water can only hold so much dissolved substance and reaches a point called saturation, which is the point where no more substance will dissolve. At this point, keep adding more solid and supersaturation occurs. Basically, the solid has nowhere else to go but other bits of solid floating undissolved in solution. This causes them to clump together and they naturally form a crystalline structure (a method used in forming drug molecules for pharmaceuticals into tablets actually).
There's an answer, there's an example of when it occurs too for free. !
What else can I help you with?
If mixing a substance with water forms a suspension does the substance have a high or low solubility in water?
If mixing a substance with water forms a suspension, it suggests that the substance has low solubility in water. This means that the substance does not fully dissolve in the water and instead forms a heterogeneous mixture with visible particles suspended in the liquid.
Which substance should be added first when mixing acid and water?
When mixing acid and water, always add the acid to the water slowly and carefully. Never add water to acid, as it can cause a dangerous reaction.
What are the materials to make crystals?
Materials to make crystals include a crystal growing solution (e.g., water mixed with a crystal-forming substance like salt or sugar), a container for the solution, a seed crystal or string for crystal growth, and patience for the crystals to form over time with proper conditions (like temperature and undisturbed environment). Optional materials include coloring agents for colored crystals and a stirring utensil for mixing the solution.
How can you grow salt crystals on a string?
To grow salt crystals on a string, you can create a saturated salt solution by dissolving salt in water. Then, suspend a string in the solution and allow it to sit undisturbed. As the water evaporates, salt crystals will form on the string.
How do you make detergent crystals?
Detergent crystals are typically made by mixing powdered detergent ingredients with binding agents and then drying them into small crystal shapes. The crystals are designed to dissolve easily in water and are often used in laundry pods or packets for convenience.
If you use koolaid if you use koolaid instead of water will it make perfect drinkable crystals?
No, using Kool-Aid instead of water will not make drinkable crystals. Crystals are formed by dissolving a solid substance in a liquid and allowing it to slowly evaporate, which doesn't happen by simply mixing in Kool-Aid.
If mixing a substance with water forms a suspension does the substance have a high or low solubility in water?
If mixing a substance with water forms a suspension, it suggests that the substance has low solubility in water. This means that the substance does not fully dissolve in the water and instead forms a heterogeneous mixture with visible particles suspended in the liquid.
What type of matter is in a beaker that has chloride crystals and water?
A pure substance
Is water a substance or a mixture Why did you say so?
water is a substance, made of oxygen and hydrogen, because mixing ox and hyd would give nothing but explosion, water is an effect of chemical reaction, not only mixing gases
What substance is formed when 0.1M silver nitrate was mixed in water with salt?
crystals
Which will form crystals faster Gatorade or water?
Gatorade will form crystals faster because it contains electrolytes, which are a form of salt. Salts are crystals, thus your answer. Pure water will not form crystals at all unless it reacts with another substance.
Is mixing with water a physical property?
Mixing with water is a physical change because the chemical composition of the substances remains the same before and after mixing. Physical properties refer to characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance.
How does squishy bath turn back into water?

Which substance should be added first when mixing acid and water?
When mixing acid and water, always add the acid to the water slowly and carefully. Never add water to acid, as it can cause a dangerous reaction.
Crystals can form as water evaporates or if too much of a substance is dissolved in water?
Water being evaporated salts remain as residues.
Is mixing salt and water a reversible or irreversible?
It is reversible. You can allow the water to evaporate, leaving the salt behind.
How do you grow big crystals?
If you use ammonium phosphate you can make large crystals by mixing it with hot water the slower it cools the larger the crystal formed check online for more details
