Recrystallization Post-Lab Assignment Organic Lab Techniques 1 (CHM2211L) 1.Report collected data by completing the table below. Mass of recrystallized NBS: 0.556 g Percent recovery: 56.85 % Melting point range: 169.7-175.5 degrees celsius 2. Show the full calculation for the percent recovery that you reported in question 1. Crude NBS: 0.978g Recrystalized substance: 0.556g 0.556g/0.978g = 0.5685 x 100 = 56.85 % 3.Based on the data you reported, how pure is your recrystallized NBS? Briefly explain your answer by comparing your experimental data (question 1) with the literature melting point for NBS. The literature melting point for NBS is ~175 degrees celsius. With the recrystallized NBS having a melting point range of 169.7 and 175.5, the melting point was about 5.3 degrees away from the literature melting point. Therefore, the material is consider impure. Due to the fact that the starting melting point wasn’t as close to the literature value, thus being on the slightly boarder side. There could’ve been an error during the experiment resulting in a less pure substance.
