Finally, made some of the drops and the original solution crystallise, to prove that they were really supersaturated. These experiments were made both in sun and shade. Weather dry. The test-tube ...

In the 1890s, the German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald recognized that supersaturated solutions often preferred to transform into a metastable intermediate phase rather than a thermodynamically stable ...

Once the first bubbles start to appear, turn the heat to low. 2. Pour the sugar in to create a supersaturated solution. Do it slowly and keep stirring until all the crystals have dissolved.

Most crystals will readily grow in a supersaturated solution, which has an ionic concentration in excess of a saturated solution at equilibrium. One glaring exception to this rule is dolomite (CaMg(CO ...

One way to improve the permeability of drugs through biological membranes is by increasing their concentration in the solution to form a supersaturated state. However, supersaturated states are ...
