Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 21E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Advantages of ethanol over
Concept introduction:Solvent used in recrystallization should have below properties.
1. It should be able to dissolve desired compound in itself at high temperatures but insoluble at low temperatures. In short, solvent with favorable temperature coefficient should be used for particular solute.
2. Solvent should be chosen in such way that impurities are either insoluble in it or remain moderately soluble in it at low temperatures.
3. Boiling point of desired solvent should be low so that it gets separated from crystals easily.
4. Boiling point of solvent should be less than melting point of solid under consideration.
5. There should be no reaction between solvent and substance that needs to be purified.

Explainarrow_forwardWhat is the approximate amount (mL) of 95% ethyl alcohol that will be required to dissolve the sulfanilamide in boiling ethanol? Note that Solubility of sulfanilamide in ethanol (mg/mL) is as follows: 14 mg at 0 °C; 24 mg at 20 °C; 46 mg at 40 °C; 88 mg at 60 °C; 210 mg at 80 °C. Remember that the sulfanilamide used in the experiment contains 5% wt of impurity (fluorenone); therefore, (357mg) X (0.05) = 17.85 mg impurities; hence = 357 mg -17.85 mg = X mg pure Sulfanilamide. So, (X mg) (1mL/210 mg) = Y mL (80 oC) minimum warm ethanol needed.arrow_forward
