A hot saturated solution of copper sulphate forms crystals as it cools. Why?

उत्तर
A hot saturated solution of CuSO4 forms crystal as it cools. Because on cooling the water molecules move closer together and there is less space for the solution to hold on to as much of the dissolved solid and so it forms crystals.
