  2. Water of crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_of_crystallization

    Classically, "water of crystallization" refers to water that is found in the crystalline framework of a metal complex or a salt, which is not directly bonded to the metal cation. Upon crystallization from water, or water-containing solvents , many compounds incorporate water molecules in their crystalline frameworks.

  3. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    However, the release of the heat of fusion during crystallization causes the entropy of the universe to increase, thus this principle remains unaltered. The molecules within a pure, perfect crystal, when heated by an external source, will become liquid. This occurs at a sharply defined temperature (different for each type of crystal).

  4. Hydrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrate

    Another example is chloral hydrate, CCl 3 −CH(OH) 2, which can be formed by reaction of water with chloral, CCl 3 −CH=O. Many organic molecules, as well as inorganic molecules, form crystals that incorporate water into the crystalline structure without chemical alteration of the organic molecule (water of crystallization).

  5. Mineral hydration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_hydration

    In inorganic chemistry, mineral hydration is a reaction which adds water to the crystal structure of a mineral, usually creating a new mineral, commonly called a hydrate.. In geological terms, the process of mineral hydration is known as retrograde alteration and is a process occurring in retrograde metamorphism.

  6. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Most liquids freeze by crystallization, formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. This is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition, which means that as long as solid and liquid coexist, the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to the slow removal of heat when in contact with air, which is a poor heat conductor.

    If you do uncover mold during a deep cleaning of your water bottle, don't panic. A mold discovery typically does not mean an immediate trip to the doctor, unless you are experiencing symptoms.

  9. Flash freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_freezing

    During the final stage of freezing, an ice drop develops a pointy tip, which is not observed for most other liquids, and arises because water expands as it freezes. [10] Once the liquid is completely frozen, the sharp tip of the drop attracts water vapor in the air, much like a sharp metal lightning rod attracts electrical charges. [10]
