Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The circumstances required for the use of activated carbon during recrystallization should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Recrystallization is a technique that is used to purify the impure compounds. It is based on the principle that the solubility of substances increases with the increase in temperature.

Following are some of the types of recrystallization:

  1. Single-solvent recrystallization
  2. Multi-solvent recrystallization
  3. Hot filtration-recrystallization
