You perform a recrystallization of biphenyl, but when you cool the solution, no crystals form. What is the most likely explanation? a. The solution was cooled too quickly. b. The solution was cooled too slowly. c. Too much hot solvent was added to dissolve the solid. d. Too little hot solvent was added to dissolve the solid.
