more soluble at higher temperatures". 1 Crystallization is a delicate procedure that involves the slow formation of a crystalline solid. Rapid formation of an amorphorous solid is called precipitation‚ which can contain many impurities. "The purest crystals are obtained when crystallization occurs slowly from an undisturbed solution".2 In general‚ crystallization is the easiest process to purify a solid substance to an acceptable quality for basic laboratory work.

How to Grow Alum Crystals Background Information A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material‚ whose constituent atoms‚ molecules‚ or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is crystallography. The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification. Potassium alum (Aluminum Potassium Sulfate) is the white crystalline natural

crystallized in a total of twelve differing environments. The amount of two different solutes‚ NaCl and polyethylene glycol (PEG)‚ were adjusted in the environments and the resulting crystals were examined. It was found that increasing amounts of a solute and protein will encourage high amounts of smaller sized crystals. Introduction: The process to determine a protein’s structure starts with the purification of the desired protein. A protein must be placed in an environment with specific conditions

as sugar cubes or crystals‚ the temperature of the water‚ and the concentration of the solution. Learning that these factors contribute to the rate of dissolving a solute‚ I hypothesize that the increase in water temperature will decrease the dissolving time of the sugar cube and sugar crystal. For this experiment the temperature of the water represents the independent variable. The dependent variable is represented by the dissolving time of the sugar cube and sugar crystal. The amounts of water

Each grain of sugar is made of a small crystal that is made of an arrangement of molecules called sucrose. In a sugar crystal‚ the sucrose molecules are arranged in a pattern that extends in all three dimensions‚ and all of these molecules are attracted to each other by a type of interaction that binds molecules together called intermolecule forces. When you add granulated sugar to water‚ some of the sucrose molecules start separating from one another because they are attracted to the water molecules

Piezoelectric crystals are one of many small scale energy sources. Whenever piezoelectric crystals are mechanically deformed or subject to vibration they generate a small voltage‚ commonly know as piezoelectricity. This form of renewable energy is not ideally suited to an industrial situation. The ability of certain crystals to generate Piezoelectricity in response to applied mechanical stress is reversible in that piezoelectric crystals‚ when subjected to an externally applied voltage‚ can change

"I didn’t think it was a big deal‚" says Jose‚ now 17‚ of his first time trying crystal meth. When Jose was 13‚ a girlfriend offered him some‚ saying it would give him a good rush. He figured‚ why not — it would just be a one-time thing. "I’d smoked marijuana before‚ but I didn’t know how to deal with this high‚" says Jose‚ from California

take a melting point for reference) • add a boiling chip or boiling stick (otherwise‚ it may "bump" and spill) • use a minimum amount of hot solvent (Add a bit‚ heat/swirl. Not dissolved? Add more!) NOTE: IF YOU USE TOO MUCH SOLVENT‚ YOU WILL GET NO CRYSTALS! 3) ONLY IF NEEDED: Decolorize • most pure compounds are white and give colorless solutions (looks like water) • to remove color (really trace contaminants)‚ add activated charcoal (adsorbs the impurities) 4) ONLY IF NEEDED: Gravity filter to remove
