Erica is following procedures to allow beakers of a saturated solution of sugar and water to cool at different rates. What question is the investigation attempting to answer? A.How does chemical weathering affect crystal formation of cooling magma? B.What is the effect of the solubility of a solid on the formation of crystals? C.How does the level of saturation affect the rate of crystal formation? D.What is the effect of temperature on crystal formation during recrystallization?

When a saturated hot solution is cooled down, solute is no longer soluble in the solvent and forms crystals.

The given saturated solution is cooling at different rates, it means that the temperature is varying and its effect on crystal formation is being studied.

It means that the investigation attempting to answer is D. What is the effect of temperature on crystal formation during recrystallization?
