Saturation

12.05.17
Growing Crystals
Lenora & Raven
Aim: To make crystals form in a super saturated solution. 


Equipment:
Cooper CuSO4
Water
Beaker
Gauze mat
Tripod
Bunsen
Work mat.

Instructions 
Pour 50 mL of water into the beaker.
Warm/heat water- bubbling (not quite boiling).
Add cooper sulphate, CuSO4,
Stir until no more dissolves.
Add more CuSO4.
Stir.
 After let them sit somewhere safe until they turn to crystals.

Conclusion
The experiment worked out perfectly fine so we now have to wait for the final results.

Explain why your crystals are the way they are:
The crystals are the way they are because, the cooper was boiled at a very hot temperature making the copper dissolve and transform into a bigger piece of crystal, because it had more quantity of copper.
The reason why they are that certain size is because of where they have been placed in the room.



Are the crystals the same shape regardless of size?
The crystals are all the same shape. They all formed the same shape even though they were not the same size. As you can see the shape of the crystals are formed in a diamond shape, no matter what size they each and every single crystals are all the same shape.
