Recrystallization

#1 Post by microplan » Mon Jun 26, 2023 11:38 am

Hello.

A colorful, abstract and delicate world of some crystals has settled on my slide.
I put a few drops of acetone on these crystals.
And everything was destroyed.
But as soon as the acetone began to dry, the recrystallization process was initiated.
Filmed in real time..

Cool stuff!

Which chemical is it ? Does it yield the same crystals from water and acetone ?
forgive me the stupid question, but could it be that the crystals were just washed by the acetone, not dissolved,
and when the acetone evaporated, they just reappeared on the slide, only shifted to other locations ?
