Recrystallization and Melting point
Shedricka (Murphy) Curtis
Recrystallization depends upon the solubility, and the purpose of recrystallizing is to purify organic compounds at room temperature and when boiling. The compounds used comes from natural resources or a chemical reaction mixture of impurities. Impurities could be a variety of substances from colored, insoluble, and soluble combinations. Recrystallization relies on the temperature of a solvent as the temperature increases.
The process involved with recrystallization is dissolving a solid in a solution, and then leaving it to be recrystallized. It take a number of tries to determine which substance is best to dissolve the solid with and in what form rather it is at room temperature or having to be heated. Finding a suitable solvent
for recrystallization helps to determine what is best for recrystallization to take place in the experiment. Once the substance has been shown to be viable enough to be removed from the solvent after it has been crystalized it can be used to determine the melting point. The melting point is determined by many factors. These factors can be used to identify a known compound; it can be used to determine the purity of a substance; and can be used to help to determine an unknown compound. Impurities of a compound can usually depress the melting point of each of the mixture that can range from low to high which is much broader than that of either compound that is used within that mixture (Recrystallization, 2023). So, if two substances are melted at the same temperature, the mix melting point can help to determine if they are one and the same substance.

A series of solvents were used water, acetone, ethanol, and toluene. Toluene was the one to be mostly suitable for recrystallization and dissolving the unknown compound in this experiment. Figure 1 solubility of the solvent based upon the chemical structure. And the target compound and other compounds present in the impure mixture has to be able to recrystallize in the solvent being used once filtered. One of the compounds has dissolved in a solvent while the other compound is not dissolved
