title: Homogeneous nucleation of calcium hydroxide.
abstract: The rate of nucleation of calcium hydroxide in carefully purified supersaturated solution was observed to be about 10(3) particles, cm(-3). sec(-1), in solutions with activity products a(ca)a(OH)(2) around 4 x 10(-5). These data correspond to a homogeneous nucleus containing about 55Ca(OH)(2) units, and a nucleus-solution interfacial tension of 65 erg cm (2).
