Candy Anyone? An Experiment for the Rate of Growth of Sugar Crystals at Differen
| Division: | International / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | South Fraser | | City: | Langley, BC | | School: | Pacific Academy | | Abstract: | My project studies the effect of the rate of cooling of a supersaturated solution of sugar and water to form rock candy. A slow controlled steady rate of cooling the solution from 230°F to room temperature over a 24-hour period produces the highest quantity and quality (large, clear prism formations) crystals comparable to those produced commercially. |
