what is crystallisation? write an activity to obtain crystals through crystal method
Answers
Answer:
Crystallization or crystallisation is the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal. Some of the ways by which crystals form are precipitating from a solution, freezing, or more rarely deposition directly from a gas.
Crystallization is a common technique used to purify solids. Two common methods of crystallization are “gradual cooling” and “diffusion”. Gradual cooling involves dissolving the impure solid in a minimum amount of a hot solvent and allowing the resulting solution to cool slowly to room temperature.
Explanation:
Crystallization is the process of obtaining substances in a pure state from their solution. Eg. Salt from sea water.
