  1. CuSO4 & KCl πŸ”¬ πŸ’Ž βš—οΈ

    A pleasant succession of crystal shapes. The star-shaped ones can hardly be discerned at the end.

  2. RuCl3 & NaCl in evaporating H2O πŸ’Ž πŸ”¬ βš—οΈ

    Fairly small quantities of RuCl3 can produce pitch black aqueous solutions, from which we gradually see crystals of NaCl emerge here.

  3. Rhodium (iii) chloride is a deliquescent substance that forms red aqueous solutions. It is here combined with NaCl. One of the stable phases we may thus afford is Na3RhCl6.

  4. CuCl2 & LiCl βš—οΈ πŸ§ͺ πŸ’Ž πŸ”¬
    anhydrous CuCl2 is a brown substance, which progressively turns green (and then blue) upon pickup of moisture. The CuCl2 we start with here has already developed quite a few green patches and is clearly not as dry as it could have been. Upon addition of highly deliquescent LiCl, we soon recover a brown color. 1/2
