Supersaturated solutions of sugar and water are commonly used to make rock candy.
Pteropods are severely affected because increasing acidification levels have steadily deceased the amount of water supersaturated with carbonate which is needed for aragonite creation.
External walls of two glass skins contained, between them, a supersaturated solution of alum designed to harness phase change energy to maintain a constant internal climate.
For certain purposes supersaturated salts will be found adequate, but with them it is not possible to obtain particular humidities which may be desired, and this limits their value.
Crystals can only grow in a liquid that is locally supersaturated, and will grow a t a rate that depends upon the magnitude of the supersaturation.
The major effect of introducing an interfacial growth law into our model is that it enables the model to predict correctly that the liquid will eventually become supersaturated.
The advantage is that it is easy to see if there really is a supersaturated solution in the jars, or whether either more salt or more water should be added.
Gypsum becomes supersaturated, precipitates from the water column, and accumulates on the lake bottom, where it is preserved in sediments.
