The first solution we mixed was not<br />

successful, and may have been because we<br />

bought a substitute for Cream of tartar, or<br />

mixed the solution too fast for the reaction<br />

to react.<br />

We spent two hours mixing this batch, and<br />

we only ended up with a useless slush.<br />

The second solution we mixed, we<br />

purchased the more expensive Cream of<br />

Tartar, and spent over 4 hours mixing the<br />

solution.<br />

Trials<br />

After one night, several crystals formed and<br />

a few were removed to use as seed crystals.<br />

More crystals formed for a week, but all very<br />

small and untestable.<br />

After several seed crystals were chosen, the<br />

rest were to be used in a supersaturated<br />

solution for crystal growth.
