0.750 g of crude acetylsalicylic acid is recrystallized using ethanol as the solvent. The solubility of acetylsalicylic acid in ethanol at 78 oC is 15.45 g per 100 mL.   a) How much hot ethanol is needed to dissolve the 0.750 g of acetylsalicylic acid?   b) If the solubility of acetylsalicylic acid at 25 oC is 0.100 g per 100 mL, how much acetylsalicylic acid will be obtained after crystallization in ethanol at 25 oC? Use the volume from part A. c) What is the maximum percent recovery for this re-crystallization
