This process can be faster if you heat the water than dissolve salt till it stops dissolving and then let it cool the salt is gonna precipitate out as it's concentration is gonna be too high as it cools
I remember making salt crystals when I was younger from a book about stones, and I remember using a pan. It was so disappointing because they were so small, but the book had another recipe using Epsom salts (I think). I ended up not using those, because I had to get the (I think) Epsom salt at the 'drugstore', but I was 9, and didn't know what a drugstore was, so I was too scared to ask my parents to take me there in case they thought that I wanted drugs 😭.
Hi everyone, I'm doing an experiment and need to know some things. Can you make shapes with the salt crystals out of wire? and do the crystals melt into their original form after? thanks
You can choose a shape from the completed dry salt that describes this video and tie it with a rope then put the small crystal in salt water just like this and wait weeks until it grows then remove it from the jar and paint it with clear nail polish so it doesn't shrink or melt
y'know if you just heat it the saturated water will expand and then there will be more space for mixing salt (do that) and then when the water cools the molecules will compress then the salt will compress so the salt will become crystals (this vid - 2 WEEKS! my way - 2 DAYS!
you're right lol adding more salt to the already saturated solution while heating the solution would make the solution be able to hold more solute (salt here) so yeah a super saturated solution :3 works better
The last time I made Crystal it's just I love Crystal can you put it in my window you guys did a good job that's why I love Crystal you guys are down to earth you told the right thing that's why I love it 👍
I've been using store bought salt crystals to do weed control. I am wondering if salt crystals will also cause soft sugar sand in Florida to be more firm and stable for driving over?
No u have too put it in a warm please NOT ACTUAL WARM just lol like put it inside the oven DON’T TURN ON THE OVEN NOT EVEN BY MISTAKE I MADE IT, IT WORKS
You don't need a nail. You can start with a smaller salt crystal (i.e. a "seed crystal") and just tie the string to that. The new crystals will form onto it.
I don't know if salt crystals will dissolve if you leave them in the solution long enough (I'm thinking not) but once you take them out, they're salt, so yes they're water soluble.
Hello @user-tv6tu7qv1b Great to see you found this video and keen to give it a go. Great News, the experiment can be setup in minutes. Not so great news, the salt crystals in the video took months to get that big. If you setup the experiment now you might have some crystals starting to form by Sunday. Let us know how you go :) Happy Experimenting.
Yeh but where do you set the jar AS the crystals form. My son and I just did it yesterday and we have the jars sitting on the table do I need to put the jars somewhere else while the crystals form?
Well, this is under the science experiment category. You need to try this out to check any hypothesis existed so far. Try different combinations and different methods, different equipment and supplies. Make you observations at the end. That what the scientists need to do
The quantities don't matter. Just get any amount of water you want and boil it. Add salt to the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Keep adding salt and dissolving it. Eventually you're going to find that the salt you added won't dissolve in the water even if the water is boiling hot. It's because the water can no longer contain any more salt, it's totally saturated. This is the liquid you want to use to grow crystals. Hang a nail in it and wait for the magic.
If you use a seed crystal instead of a nail it should still be safe for use in food. Introducing metals into the solution for long periods of time can potentially make it unsafe to consume.
Koi to bataye .. Aakhir kya jarurat hai crystal salt banane ki... Pure salt ke liye Kiya jata hai????? Jo NaCl hum log use karte hai kya wo amorphous solid hota hai????? Plsss yaar koi to bataye..... Kya is video me amorphous salt ko crystal salt mtlb pure salt banaya gaya hai???
Maybe your solution wasn't saturated enough. It has to be so saturated with salt that the salt can't dissolve anymore, which this video said you have to do.

How long do u think it would take using this process?
NaCl solubility in water doesn't change much with temperature (unlike many other salts).
Can it be done in 5 days?

it was an activity in our school and ur video helped me a lot and it was simple to do with the materials available in home too
did you need to make the water hot I don't think it said in the video plz plz plz respond this project is due in like 2 weeks
Mee to I am know working on the project
@@eliasmaalouf6192 hey so the crystal worked it just really small
Crystallization happens when a hot saturated liquid is cooled down gently so that the excess solids form particles called crystals
So does the water have to be hot?
@@kage1165 yes
@@kage1165 well yh boil the water first, then make the water and salt solution.. so be rlly careful when doing it

Hot water with distilled water, and cover up the solution to avoid dust. Wait for 8 weeks, then check.
Nice video, thanks for sharing
How cool! I'll try to make one some day!😍
Thanks for clearify the crystal concept!
Always wanted to do this but most videos are so complicated, this one looks pretty simple
Did you try?
Yes I did and I need it for a school project it is for math

u dont need a nail, you can do it without the nail. put inside only the string

Can I have a method for making crystals and materials? I am from Iraq. Please reply.
Wow. This editing is superb
I've been using store bought salt crystals to do weed control. I am wondering if salt crystals will also cause soft sugar sand in Florida to be more firm and stable for driving over?
I am very interested in that as well. Did you find any answers?
Can we use a paper clip ?
What can i use as an alternative for nail polish?
Hello, I have a question Why do we in the nail?
It needs to be a metalic object.
@@zerozero4004is tin foil good? And if I use a smaller object will it take less time?
@@isnail217 IDK any metalic object is OK, I think
@@zerozero4004 bruh I just realised that tin foil floats
@@isnail217 😆
Thank you very much. Our professor said to us that we need to find how to make crystals by ourself so here I am😍
Can u pay your bill
With this?
Yes but most tax collectors like it colored blue so make sure you do that
"Look sire, I don't have money to pay the bills but here is a very rare crystal from my great great grand parents"
Sire: *"Yes"*
CANT WAIT TILL WEEK ENDS AHHHH TYSM!
Can you ad color to it like food coloring?? Nice tutorial thanks for sharing
bit late here but yes you can
Can we add color in the crystal before making it
ok cool but how much of each thing?
eyeball it ig
It should be a saturated solution, meaning dissolve as much salt into the water as possible until nothing more dissolves.
Oh heck yea im boutta make kryptonite CRYSTALS!!!!!
Do u use hot or cold water
Hot water
Hi, just wondering if woud work with poly string? or should be cotton string?
Any string can be used
Can you speed this up by sealing the beaker in a container with a strong desiccant like calcium chloride?
We could use any metal thing instead of nail
A lot of people use washers for rock Candy I'm sure that would work
Thanks
Wow😯❗️
We have to put in in freez or not
No u have too put it in a warm please NOT ACTUAL WARM just lol like put it inside the oven DON’T TURN ON THE OVEN NOT EVEN BY MISTAKE I MADE IT, IT WORKS
@@ahmedkhalid5014 what
No
Can I put it in a Freezer or fridge to let it cool down Quick?
works for me i think you can maybe.
Exactly how much time it took?
Is it okay if we use iodised salt?
Can we take any other metal instead of nail?
Yep! , you just need something for the crystal to wrap around, like wire or pipe cleaners or any other metal
You don't need a nail. You can start with a smaller salt crystal (i.e. a "seed crystal") and just tie the string to that. The new crystals will form onto it.
Can i take it out add more salt
And put it in aging?
Is it hot water?
do we really need a nail or just a pebble
If I use less salt will it still work
i'm supposed to be done with this in 2 days. any suggestions?
How many week does????
Tysm! Its starting to grow! First day!
Crystalliation.
Does it work ? Can we put Paint in side?
What was that yellow thing u put the white water on
I need to do this in 3 daysss
kinda sucks because thats not possible
Try alum salt and keep it in the fridge. You will see something a few hours later
Very nice! Will they melt in time??? I think to use them in art but im afraid they can melt like salt do
I don't know if salt crystals will dissolve if you leave them in the solution long enough (I'm thinking not) but once you take them out, they're salt, so yes they're water soluble.
It's just like rock salt not crystals but looks cool
Salt is a type of crystal
BigBlueCat so I’ve been using crystals as seasoner
@@shaquezr.9541yes, the 'pink himalayan salt' you see in the supermarket is just ground up 'Halite'
Can you write the ingredients and method of preparation? Because my English is bad with video.
do we need any special sault
Alum salt or Epsom salts work well
What kind of salt is that???
Is it warm water or hot/boiling water??
so can you do it with out the nail
Can this be made in 5 days? I really need the reply cause my project is due Sunday and it's today, it's Tuesday

@@QuestaconTV Thank you so much for the experiment. Your comment will help me in my project to get full marks. ⚛️👩🔬
how many sides or faces this crystal had?
Yeh but where do you set the jar AS the crystals form. My son and I just did it yesterday and we have the jars sitting on the table do I need to put the jars somewhere else while the crystals form?
Do they melt?
The only thing is do not put the crystal into any new solution until it is cold
You could defo prank your mates with these!!
Is that hot water/warm water/tap water/or cold water(no ice in it)
its better to do it with hot water since it can contain more salt than just normal tap water
Do it with hot water NOT WITH ACTUAL HOT WATER JUST WARM WATER WARM
Any room temperature water
Is it safe to consume? Does it have same sodium content?
I mean, where else would the sodium go?
I have some question
Water is hot or no?😅
Where to keep the 🫙 plz suggest
Can u use a floss instead of a nail??
I would think anything that has some roughness or porousness to it would work. A wood chip might be interesting.
Do I use drinking water or salt water
What’s the water to salt ratio that should be used?
Keep adding salt in hot water until the salt doesn't desolve anymore, that's a saturated solution.
nice snack for me
Nice
Do you *need* the nail?
not rlly
Ok
is it possible to make them bigger to get one crystal on string and then put it in the same wat
er and will it be bigger?
@Smriti pandey yes that’s right
Of course everything is possible
Should I put it in freezer or keep it outside
Well, this is under the science experiment category. You need to try this out to check any hypothesis existed so far. Try different combinations and different methods, different equipment and supplies. Make you observations at the end. That what the scientists need to do
if you want crystals to grow you have to leave it outside so the waster evaporates
and how to describe these crystals ?
This is just table salt (sodium chloride) which has a cubic crystal structure. So it would have six sides.
thank u so much
What kind of salt?
Doesn’t the salt melt or desolve
It should be saturated
how much weeks do we have to wait
2 weeks will work fine
how much salt do u use
I think if you would have told the quantity of water and salt then it would have been more helpful🙃
The quantities don't matter. Just get any amount of water you want and boil it. Add salt to the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Keep adding salt and dissolving it.

@@donmiller2908 okay thankyou
So if your testing types of salt Bree the types of crystals you would want a consistent measurement though right?
its absolutely worked any way thank you
Pro
I did it I have to wait 7 weeks now long time
Ok nice
you made your own fuzzz. wow
Crochet is our husband's anniversary
What kind of salt is that
Does it have to be a specific type of salt?
Lmao Just use sea salt to be safe.
Am a little bit worried about the type of salt too
@@acatwo7767 any works
any salt works. all salts are mettalic halides and do form crytals except you shouldnt eat th crystal unless it was an edible salt like NaCl
asking because I've tried this three times now and it never worked 😅
You said water right but how am I sopost to know do I put hot water warm or cold you can't just say water how do I know
HOT WATER :)
@@taratrncevic okay
Fact: for staring it we need hot water
And with those cubic crystals what will you do? Jewelry? Or it's too weak?
Salt crystals are too weak and dissolve in water
@@LDT2001 Thanks
Water hot ya normal 😅
are they edible??
If you use a seed crystal instead of a nail it should still be safe for use in food. Introducing metals into the solution for long periods of time can potentially make it unsafe to consume.

Bro should we keep hot water or cold for that experiment
is this salt edible
im bout to find out

im gonna eat it
I like making crystal can you send me a packet thank you
I find them in my salt baq found even pure crystal clear ones 😎😎😎
ahh it took me nearly a whole year to make this crystal!!!!
Maybe your solution wasn't saturated enough. It has to be so saturated with salt that the salt can't dissolve anymore, which this video said you have to do.
