Homogeneous precipitation occurs when a precipitant is generated slowly from within an initially homogeneous solution by a chemical reaction.The main benefit from homogeneous precipitation is:
A)nucleation dominates over particle grown when precipitation is slow to give smaller,purer,easily filtered crystals.
B)particle grown dominates over nucleation when precipitation is slow to give smaller,purer,easily filtered crystals.
C)nucleation dominates over particle grown when precipitation is slow to give larger,purer,easily filtered crystals.
D)particle growth dominates over nucleation when precipitation is slow to give larger,purer,easily filtered crystals.
E)None of these answers is correct.

In homogeneous precipitation, slow precipitation allows particle growth to dominate over nucleation, resulting in larger, purer, and easily filtered crystals.
