What is the purpose of crystallization?
To remove water from a solution containing ionic compound[salt]. This is done because, water has a lower boiling point than the salt.
What are the components in the crystallization experiment?
Evaporating dish, filter paper[to completely dry the samples]
What is the key word to use in this experiment
We heat the solution till the point of crystallization
How do we obtain larger crystals from this experiment?
To obtain larger crystals, a little water can be evaporated and then the solution left to cool and evaporate at room temperature. The crystals are then dried between filter papers.
