Question

Homogeneous precipitation occurs when a precipitant is generated slowly from within an initially homogeneous solution by a chemical reaction. The main benefit from homogeneous precipitation is: nucleation dominates over particle grown when precipitation is slow to give smaller, purer, easily filtered crystals. particle grown dominates over nucleation when precipitation is slow to give smaller, purer, easily filtered crystals. nucleation dominates over particle grown when precipitation is slow to give larger, purer, easily filtered crystals. particle growth dominates over nucleation when precipitation is slow to give larger, purer, easily filtered crystals. None of these answers is correct.

Explanation / Answer

The technique in which the precipitating agent is not mechanically added but synthesized in the solution is called homogenous precipitation. Hence, when precipitant is generated slowly within an initially homogenous solution by chemical reaction. particle growth dominates over nucleation when precipitation is slow to givelarger, purer, easily filtered crystals.

Hence, the answer is d.
