In which situation is crystal formation more likely?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When a supersaturated solution is slightly disturbed
A supersaturated solution contains excess dissolved solute and is metastable. A small disturbance or a seed crystal can provide a site where solute particles arrange into a crystal, causing crystallization. Therefore A is correct. The other situations do not supply a supersaturated solution or the necessary crystallization condition.
