To What Extent Do Solid Crystals That Form Better Between Sugar And Unionized Salts
In this experiment I conducted a test to see if solid crystals would form better between sugar and unionized salts. Also under two different temperatures, would this effect the size at all. My overall hypothesis was to test at what rate and size would crystals grow in sugar vs salt at different temperatures, and that I thought the salt would produce a greater amount of crystal deposits. My method was hanging a string from a pencil immersed in the different solutions. My results were similar in both tests. Both the salts in the temperatures grew small amount of crystals on the strings where the sugars did not display any formation within 24 hours. The chemical differences between the two solutions are apparent. Salt or NaOH, when uniodized does not have that chemical iodine additive to it. Whereas sugar is a more complex molecule with a variety of elements, known as, C12H22O11. I wanted to see the difference in three dimensions between

How the experiment was conducted was first I got the four glasses out and filled each three quarters the way full with water for a measurement. I then poured two glasses of the water into two separate pots and let boil. As soon as they boiled I added the salt to one, sugar to the other, until the solutions were completely saturated. Then very carefully, I poured the salt mixture into two cups, and the sugar mixture into the other cups, being sure the keep the levels equal. With the four pencils I tied a shoe string to the middles, cut long enough to just barely touch the bottom of each cup with the bottom of the string. I then, placed the pencils on top of the glasses and covered each with plastic wrap. One of each of the salt and sugar was placed on the counter and the others placed in the fridge. Measuring the temperature of each having 66 degrees in the room and 32 in the refrigerator. This was let stand for 24
