In my childhood, I did an interesting little experiment: I poured a mysterious liquid on a Christmas tree made of cardboard. After about a day or so, the tree will grow its colorful crystals. Call them "snowflakes."
I am very interested in the growth process of this crystal. I wonder if the paperboard soaked in the salt solution can grow salt crystals. In the previous experiment, in order to make the salt-like salt form a large salt block, the heating method was adopted. Is there a more natural way to shape salt crystals?
The first time I tried, I found that a single salt solution did not make the cardboard grow out of salt crystals. The brine leaves only a layer of salt on the surface of the board after evaporation.
I searched online for relevant production suggestions and wanted to improve. It has been found that if the salt is allowed to crystallize on paper, it is necessary to add bleach and ammonia to the solution. So I started to make it again.
The experiment still failed. I concluded that the reason is divided : 1. The rate of salt and other solutions is not accurate 2. The paper is not suitable for this experiment.
The ratio problem was adjusted and more paper was used. After the item was placed indoors for a week, the salt crystals began to grow and spread.
The salt crystal produced by this method is shaped like a snowflake, but the disadvantage is that it is very fragile.
