Eren, Rochelle, and Sarah were assigned to do a recrystallization experiment using three different solvent to purify and separate a mixture comprising compounds X and Y. The following are the solubilities of the two compounds in g/50 mL of hot and cold solvents: Solvent 1 2 3 Hot 2.1 3.3 3.8 X Solubility in g/50 mL solvent Cold 0.5 0.6 3.2 Hot 2.2 3.5 4.0 Y Cold 0.75 0.80 0.85 A. Given the above data, if a mixture containing 10.0 g each of X and Y is to be recrystallized from 10 milliliters of the solvents, what is the best solvent to use? Support your answer by doing a schematic diagran for EACH solvent. B. What is the %recovery of X and Y in the chosen solvent? Show your complete solution. C. What is the %purity of X and Y in the chosen solvent? Show your complete solution.
