Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 3E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Whether recrystallization is appropriate to be performed for situations or not 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.

Based on the melting point of your impure solid, you look at the given samples and believe you havecompound A. Compound A is recrystallized using a mixed solvent system of ethanol and water. You add1 ml of hot ethanol to your sample and it doesn’t completely dissolve. You continue to add hot ethanolbut there isn’t any change. Some solid remains. What should you do next?
Why is important to allow the saturated solution to cool down slowly during the recrystallization?
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
