Part 3(application)

1. Was your process of making candy an example of your currently-held model of solutions and crystallization?

Yes it was, In the beginning we added sugar(solute) to corn syrup(solvent), and it was slowly starting to dissolve, but it is very slow, so once it started to become heated and even boiling the solute was soon completely dissolved. Once my solution had reached its temperature of 280 degrees Fahrenheit and put on to wax paper, the solution crystallized and became of a glass type texture. The reason this happened was because the mass transferred of the solute from the liquid solution to a solid crystallized form.

2. Apply your model to another substance. The application could be a food, ingredient, process, or other substance. Find another example (food or non-food) in the real world and explain.

     

Another example could be when you are making ice cream, in that process you have milk(solvent) and Sugar(solute) in which you would combine them to create a solution. The once all your flavoring and other items have been added to the solution, it's then time to freeze the solution which would then turn into crystallization by freezing.
