In a recrystallisation, why are the newly formed crystals washed with cold solvent? -To wash off any impurities that have crystallized on the surface of the pure crystals. -To wash off the film of solvent which contains the impurities. -To cool down the crystals. -To slightly dissolve the crystals to give them a more rounded shape.

- Suppose your sample is mixed with other stuff that is not soluble in your recrystallization solvent. Whenfiltering, should you rinse with hot solvent or cold? Why? - Suppose you've isolated crystals of your sample and are now filtering them. Should you rinse with hotsolvent or cold? Why?

Why would a solvent with a very high boiling point be inappropriate for a recrystallization? Too much solvent would be lost to evaporation during the heating phase of the recrystallization Impurities and the compound to be recrystallized would dissolve equally well in this solvent A high boiling solvent would not dissolve the compound to be recrystallized It would be difficult to remove residual solvent from the purified crystals
