TOPIC: Recrystallization Students were tasked to conduct a recrystallization experiment to test the ability of the three newly discovered solvents in their laboratory to purify and separate a mixture containing compounds X and Y. The solubilities of the two compounds in g/50 mL of hot and cold solvents are given in the table. Given the data, if a mixture containing 9.0 g each of X and Y is to be recrystallized from 100 milliliters of the solvents, what is the best solvent to use? Support your answer by doing a schematic diagram for EACH solvent.
