How do you make sugar crystals that are blue?

Adding methylene blue to sugar water solution.


Can you make sugar crystals out of substitute sugar?

No. You could perhaps make substitute-sugar crystals out of substitute-sugar, depending on what the substitute was made of, but by definition only sugar can make sugar crystals. Also the substitute sugar forms alot of mold.


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 the arrangement of the atoms and molecules in a sugar crystal differ from those in a piece of plastic?

the atoms dissolve with the atoms and the molecules to lock the sugar and salt / lock in to make the crystals


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.

What would be the best way to make crystals?

Dissolve sugar in hot water until you can't dissolve any more. Then wait for the sugar water to evaporate. You can hang a piece of yarn into the sugar water; the crystals should form around the yarn.

Does sugar make gum last longer?

No. Sugar-free gum lasts longer because the sugar crystals don't break down as fast.


How would you make bigger sugar crystal?

Big crystals are obtained by a very slow crystallization from very concentrated sugar solutions.
