In the meth production sequence, which phase is the crystallization phase (salting out)?

• A. Crystallization phase (salting out)
• B. Extraction phase (pill crush)
• C. Reaction phase (cooking)
• D. Separation/oil phase (oil extraction)

Answer: (A)

Crystallization is the step where the product forms solid crystals from a solution, often after a reaction step leaves it dissolved. Salting out is a method used to reduce the solubility of the dissolved material by adding salt, prompting crystal formation. In a purification sequence, this phase is dedicated to turning dissolved material into a solid, distinct from other stages. The extraction phase moves compounds between solvents, the reaction phase involves chemical transformation, and the separation/oil phase isolates components by separating oil from other phases. So, the crystallization phase (salting out) is the correct one because it directly describes the conversion of dissolved material into solid crystals.
