Chapter 3.2, Problem 28E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Whether some loss of sample mass is expected to occur or not after careful execution of recrystallization should be explained.

Concept introduction:Recrystallization is technique that is used for purification of organic compounds. This process includes dissolution of solid in specific solvent at high temperature and then crystals are made again by process of cooling. Temperature of crystals is decreased to allow impurities to remain in solution only.

Blurred answer

Why should the recrystallization solvent have a fairly low boiling point?
Why is important to allow the saturated solution to cool down slowly during the recrystallization?
Acetone and isopropyl alcohol are generally not suitable for use in extraction, but are frequently used as recrystallization solvents. Explain
