Which outcome occurs when highly concentrated ionic solutions experience evaporative drying?

💡 Explanation

Crystal formation results because, as solvent evaporates, the ionic concentration rises to a point of supersaturation. Above the *nucleation energy barrier*, crystal growth becomes thermodynamically favourable, therefore crystallization occurs rather than maintaining a stable solution.
