Solution:
Basis: 100 g water
Amount of dissolved oxalic acid at 100 0C = 84.4 g
Amount to be crystallize = 0.95 x 84.4 = 80.2 g
Amount of oxalic acid left in the solution = 84.4 – 80.2 = 4.2 g
Molecular weight of oxalic acid = 90
Molecular weight of water = 18
Water of hydration 2 H2O = 2(18)/90
= 0.4 g H2O/g oxalic acid
Water of crystallization = 0.4 (80.2)
= 32.1 g H2O
Liquid water remaining = 100 – 32.1
= 67.9 g
Final solubility must be (4.2/67.9) x 100
= 6.19 g / 100 g H2O

Solubilities and Phase Diagrams
A saturated solution has a constant
composition that is not changed by the
addition of further amount of the dissolved
material. For a two component system, the
solubility of one component in the other is
dependent on temperature and pressure.
For three and more component systems the
solubility of one component also depends
on the relative amounts of the other
components present. For liquid solutions
the pressure dependence is negligible if the
pressure difference is small
However, the temperature dependence
(and also the pressure dependence
providing the difference is sufficiently large,)
of the solubility can be considerable and it is
therefore important to state the
temperature for which the solubility is
reported even under ‘normal’ conditions.
It is common terminology for solutions of
solids in liquids to denote the liquid
component as the solvent and the solid
component as the solute, even if the
amount of solute in the solution exceeds
the amount of solvent. Various measures of
composition are in use to report solubilities
• Mass of solute per unit mass of solvent (kg/kg)
m3 or mol/L)
at lower pressures.
In the case of the T-x diagram, the
equilibrium temperature is plotted against
the composition of the solid and the liquid
phase, usually expressed in terms of mole
fractions. Figure 10.4 shows a generalized
ideal temperature composition diagram.

secondary nucleation.
Secondary nucleation requires the presence of
crystals.
There are different mechanisms which lead
to secondary nuclei, these are:
• initial breeding: nuclei result from simply
placing crystals into a supersaturated
solution or supercooled melt via the washing
off of dust particles from the surface of the
crystals
• collision breeding: nuclei result from
fragments of existing crystals which are
broken off due to mechanical impact on
crystal faces due to crystal-crystal, crystal-
wall, or crystal-stirrer (-pump) collisions
• fluid shear: nuclei result from clusters or
outgrowths being forced from the solid-
liquid boundary layer due to shear forces
resulting from liquid motion. A prerequisite
for this behavior is that the growing crystal
already has a size larger than the critical
nucleus
Collision breeding is the most frequently
observed and dominant secondary
nucleation mechanism, at least in the
majority of industrial, mass production,
crystallization processes.
