Making Copper Sulfate solution / crystals ?

Then always use a water bath to stop dangerous fumes being formed.

Please also refer to the latest Hazcards about the storage of the forming crystals as this has changed....

Here is the video of the glistening crystals of lead iodide. The glistening crystals are formed during formation (as they are so thin) and by the bombardment with surrounding water molecules. #ChatChemistry, #ITeachChem @cleapss.bsky.social

We are comparing the diffusion speeds of halogens along damp starch/iodide paper. This activity is conducted in Petri dishes on the bench. The final section shows iodine result and uses 1 tiny ball of iodine.

Confusion abounds as to whether iodine sublimes or evaporates at 1 atm. In fact, it melts and flows. A little microscale triumph. See tinyurl.com/2nw2hram
