Which consequence accelerates crystal growth beyond supersaturation limits?

A)Ostwald ripening increasing surface energy
B)Reduced critical nucleus size promoting nucleation
C)Solution viscosity limiting ion mobility
D)Increased interfacial tension during crystallization

💡 Explanation

Reduced critical nucleus size from decreased activation energy leads to accelerated crystallization because more nuclei form spontaneously, therefore bulk crystallization rises faster than predicted by classical nucleation theory alone, rather than surface energy limitations.
