Crystal Growth Project - Part 1 Growing the Seed Crystal VIDEO LINKS: Lab experiments (Write protocols and perform experiments based on these): 1. Making Saturated Alum Solution 2. Growing Seed Crystals 3. Seed Crystal Maintenance Demonstration (Watch optional video for additional information on crystal growth) 1. Other crystal growing demonstrations Data analysis and interpretation (Use these if you need help with your data and discussion) 1. Solubility 2. Crystallization The prelab must include Experimental Protocol, Chemical Table and Equipment Table. The lab report requires all sections (including prelab sections) to be completed in one document. Experimental Protocol (Prelab) Part 2: Now gather the solution that is saturated, more deionized water, and the petri dish with the solution that has crystals. On a new dish pour water. On another dish pour the saturated solution. Pick a large crystal already formed and place it on the water. Rinse it fully and place it on the saturated water solution. Pick about 3 to 5 crystals and repeat. Place the crystals apart so they don’t mix or grow together. After you have selected your 3-5 crystals, set the ones not selected to the side.

Chemical Name Chemical Formula Molar Mass (g/mol) Hazards reference PPE Sodium Chloride NaCl 58.5 Skin irritation https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/21105.htm Deionized water H20 18.02 none www.merckmillipore.com/INTL/en/pr oduct/Di-water,MDA_CHEM-848333 Googles Apron alum KAl (SO4)2 · 12H2O 474.372 Burn the eyes, irritation, hard to breath Alum Environmental and Toxicological Information - Affinity Chemical Googles Apron Equipment Table (Prelab) (Analysis) Identify the equipment (type AND size) needed for the experiment and include the name and an image of each. Be sure to describe the equipment, how to use it, and why it is suitable for this use. Equipment Name Equipment Picture Intended Purpose 400ml Beaker The beaker will be used to pour water. Used to hold solutions or substances. Scale grams Use to find the mass of needed items. We will use it to measure the alum added into the solution.
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 3 Petri dish To hold samples or items. It will hold alum, water, and saturated solutions in this experiment Tweezers To move items, in this lab we will use it to move the crystals.
