Crystallization of melts is very similar to crystallization of solutions, what is the factor that differentiates the crystallization of melt and solutions?
A
Environmental factors
B
Entropy
C
Size of the particles
D
Temperature
Answer:
The correct option is D. Temperature
Note
Melts are high temperature liquids whereas solutions are liquids at low temperatures. Thus on melting together the solid starting materials, complete homogenization occurs and recrystallization takes place on subsequent cooling of the melt.
