When borax is mixed with hot water, it dissolves forming a saturated solution. As the solution cools, the solubility of borax decreases, causing the excess borax to come out of the solution and recrystallize. This process forms crystals as the borax molecules arrange themselves in an organized structure to minimize energy.
Yes, borax crystals typically form faster than salt crystals because borax crystals have a higher solubility in water compared to salt. This allows borax molecules to come together and form crystals more quickly when the solution cools.
i did a project on this and they grow better in cold
Borax is used as a natural laundry booster, multipurpose cleaner, fungicide, preservative, insecticide, herbicide, disinfectant, desiccant, and ingredient in making "slime". Borax crystals are odorless, whitish (can have various color impurities), and alkaline. Borax is not flammable and is not reactive. It can be mixed with most other cleaning agents, including chlorine bleach.
To make borax crystals, you typically mix 3 tablespoons of borax with 1 cup of very hot water. Stir until the borax is fully dissolved. Then, you can suspend a pipe cleaner or string in the solution and let it sit for 24 hours to allow the crystals to form.
Borax crystals typically form within a few hours to overnight when grown using the "hot water" method, where the borax is dissolved in hot water and then allowed to cool. The exact time can vary depending on factors like the concentration of borax and the temperature of the solution.
Yes, crystals can form at room temperature with a solution of water and borax. To create borax crystals, dissolve borax in hot water, allow the solution to cool, and then place a seed crystal in the solution to encourage crystal growth. Over time, crystals will start to form as the water evaporates.

they form crystals but that's only if you have a pipe cleaner and hot water and borax

Crystals can be grown from borax and boiling water by creating a supersaturated solution of borax in the water. As the solution cools, borax particles start to come together and form crystals. By allowing the solution to sit undisturbed for a period of time, large borax crystals will begin to grow.

Yes, borax crystals can be grown with food dye added to create colored crystals. The food dye will tint the crystals as they form, resulting in crystals with vibrant colors.
To form a hypothesis on making borax crystals, you could propose a statement that predicts the outcome of the experiment based on your understanding of the process. For example, your hypothesis could be: "If I dissolve borax in hot water and allow it to cool slowly, then I predict that larger crystals will form compared to when the solution cools quickly." This hypothesis can guide your experiment and help you determine if your prediction is correct.
Well it depends. But im currently growing salt, suagr and borax crystals and my borax crystals formed first. So i guess my answer is No, borax crystals grow faster but dont take my answer as a fact i could be wrong.
