Crystalisation--PRACTICAL

crystalisation

Remove the dish from the heat and leave it to cool

some of the solvent will evaporate, solution gets more concentrated

Wait till some of the solvent had evaporated/when you can start to see crystals start to form

Pour the solution into an evaporating dish and gently heat

The salt should start to form crystals

Filter the crystals out of the solution then leave in a warm place to dry further

Once completely dry there will only be crystals left
