Salt Crystals in Macro in 1 Minute

I dissolved 1.5 cup of epsom salt (it's also called magnesium sulfate) in 1 cup of hot water. This resulted in a very saturated epsom salt - water solution.
Hot water can hold more salt than cold water, so when the water cools down there is less room for the dissolved salt and for this reason salt crystals start to form. The magnesium sulfate atoms run into each other and join together in a crystal structure. In this video you can observe this process in macro, you can watch how the individual salt crystals grow.
Very easy and simple fun experiment. :)

Try Potassium Ferricyanide next time! It makes really pretty crystals and colours (red/green/yellow/brown dendritic trees).

What is happening here , did they put it in the freezer ?

@empmachine 2 ай бұрын

@@nerfgodbigguy1405 I think it's just by evaporation. Water leaves, concentration increases (forcing crystal growth). As long as you don't disturb it, you can get some amazing crystals.. my fav is with root-destroyer (copper sulfate). Did you know Epsom salt is mostly water? Yea, the dry powder, that, that's mostly water.

@@empmachine Actually never knew that, normally any form of powder is just a dry solute. Cool 👍

The formation of salt crystals looks eerily similar to mold growth.

A thousand little salt crystal spears sprouting up. You had that water good and saturated. Me watching it on repeat feeling monkey brain satisfaction every time it crystallizes “do eet again!” 😂

@EducatedSkeptic 2 ай бұрын

I've done this. It's a little frustrating if you don't start with a really saturated solution - and it takes a LOT of epsomite to saturate the water (as is obvious if people look at the proportions you used!). But once the process starts, it IS fast, and those needle-like crystals are stunningly beautiful. Have you done the same with normal halite (table salt) - to generate "hopper crystals" on the surface? They're kind of like inverted, hollow pyramids - until they get so heavy they sink (at maybe 1/4" across). Really cute little buggers!

Have you done a time lapse with sodium salts? Sodium chloride crystals would be a beautiful and interesting contrast to the long pillar like crystals of the magnesium salts. A time lapse of bismuth crystal formation would be wild too.

You can see why at one point there was a fair amount of scientific debate over the question of if crystals were alive. You can break off one and drop a seed crystal into a saturated solution and it will grow. I may have the time wrong, but I believe it was about when germ theory was being developed in Europe and we were just figuring out that there was life invisible to our eyes.

Do a cup of water saturated with table salt. It makes a mess over a long period of time. Salt creep is one weird phenomenon.

Something I'd like to see is a mixture of oil, water, and Dawn dish soap left to sit until it dries up. I say Dawn specifically because it's biodegradable and it makes sponges smell if you don't wash them out very thoroughly.
