Well, if you enjoyed the look of those colorless crystals, you may also enjoy copper sulfate, which forms beautiful, deep-blue rhombic crystals. They grow fast from hot supersaturated solutions but tend to form policrystals (which are also nice). To grow single monocrystal the best is to vapor the solution slowly. Similar to flowers growing in the garden, this can became a hobby quickly, because grown crystals look beautiful!

You really had fun doing this video and we had fun watching your very exciting experiment, thanks for taking us in this worth while journey

The problem with OTC potassium nitrate is that they comes with insoluble impurity, in order to get big clear crystals, it is best to run it through a simple gravity filtration, as those particles interfere with the crystal formation, and make the crystals somewhat cloudy.

Also for really pure chrystals you should use destilled water and not tap water as tap water contains a whole bunch of other minerals that interfere. And while you're there maybe use a glass container for heating as well as it is as unreactive as it gets. I'm not sure but I think its possible that metal pots can dissolve (not much but probably a tiny bit) into your salt solution.

Admire your completly wonderful way of exploring these things!

Grant, the reason you get long perfect crystals in the second batch you made is that you let it cool slowly, which forms beautiful crystals. But if you cool the solution quickly, like by putting it in the fridge, then amorphous solids(solids without defined geometric shapes) form. That is why the first batch resulted in that way. Just to mention that the amount of solute(the solid that dissolves in water or any other solvent) doesn't matter in the formation of crystals(it is recommended to use maximum of the solid).

The slower the cooldown, the larger the crystals, when you put the one in the fridge the outside formed many tiny crystals and the center took longer to cool so had larger crystals.

@johnpaulcolthrust8207

2 жыл бұрын

And that’s why it looked, as he said, like a geode.

Actually the reason your second batch had longer crystals is due to the slow coold-down. If you rush the cool-down process by sticking it into a freezer or whatever you will get short crystalls. For best results, allow it to cool to room temp. and then stick it in the refrigerator, followed by the freezer. Don't let the water freeze, and you will maximize your recovery.

Just had an idea to maybe add clear or tinted epoxy resin to the bowl of crystals to make a more permanent geode.

Now this was fun and all, but are there any special applications for this?

(I don't see that it does, but I'm unaware of any benefit to any compound or reaction at all from the crystalline configuration alone).

Nice video - loved it! Did want to just caution you about something: Potassium nitrate is of low toxicity as you point out - however, heating above 550ºC decomposes it to potassium nitrite, which is almost as toxic as potassium cyanide... I only say that because you might want to avoid tasting the material that splattered onto the stove top. Maybe recommend that those spatters are just cleaned up and disposed of? Probably being a bit of an old lady worry wart, and overly cautious, but if the spattered material was heated by the flame directly, you could have some nitrite formed (and you really don't need very much at all to make you sick...) The stuff that was always in water should be OK... Thanks for spreading your learning and making science fun. I'm really enjoying your videos. Jason

I recognize those crystals they were the dendrites from a reactor vessel I designed to produce electricity .. the vessel filled up very quickly however it produces a lot of electricity very quickly as well but it fills up the reactor to the point that it will short out the electrodes. All that needs to be done is to filter the dendrites from the reactor while it continues to produce electricity . A percentage of the chemical components in the electrolyte will have to be calculated to continue the increase in amperes to further the production process so that the chemical makeup of the electrolyte can be maintained with an optimal level of uniterupted electrical output having potassium nitrate as a biproduct is a very attractive feature to the process ....
