Which temperature do salt crystals grow better in?

Answer 1

Yes, lower is the temperature fast is the growing rate of crystals.

<P>

<P>The temperature of water does have an affect on making salt crystals. Salt is more soluble in hot water than in cool water, so a trick to forming crystals is to dissolve as much salt as possible in hot water, and then allow it to cool. As the water cools, less salt can be dissolved, and the extra forms crystals.</P>

Answer 2

I would think that it would depend on the particular mineral in solution, what concentration solution it is is, and would vary depending on the solute (liquid it is suspended in).

Crystals basically form as a mineral in solution that can exist in solid form begin attaching themselves to one another or often upon a "seed" (solid surface the crystal structure can connect to). The suspended mineral is saturated in the solution, almost to the point of no longer being soluble. Then as the liquid begins cooling or pressure is reduced, atoms of the mineral begin dropping out of the solution and aligning in crystalline form. This must occur slowly, or the mineral will just form a non-crystalline solid.

The crystal formation can also occur in a saturated solution that is slowly evaporating, as again as the liquid can no longer support the volume of the solid that is suspended in solution, and the extra molecules of the solid have to drop out of the solution.

Answer 3

Salt crystals generally grow better in warmer temperatures due to the increased solubility of salt in water at higher temperatures. However, the specific temperature range for optimal salt crystal growth may vary depending on the concentration of the salt solution and other factors.

Answer 4

they grow better in natural sunlight, or in warm places such as a window sill

Answer 5

It grow better in warm tempratures

Answer 6

Salt crystals that have rock salt in it
