If you use toluene as a solvent for recrystallization of biphenyl, what is the most likely reason it would be unsuccessful? a. The boiling point of toluene is too low. b. Biphenyl will not dissolve in the non-polar toluene. c. Biphenyl is too soluble in the similarly structured toluene solvent, and will be hard to recover after recrystallization. d. Toluene is a polar solvent.
