When a supersaturated solution is disturbed, such as by shaking, stirring, or adding a small seed crystal, it can cause the excess solute to crystallize out of the solution. This rapid precipitation occurs because the solution contains more solute than it can normally dissolve at that temperature, leading to a sudden release of the solute in solid form. Consequently, the solution returns to a stable state, often resulting in the formation of visible crystals.
