Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 32E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The set of standard step by step instructions for recrystallization of the stilbene from ethanol needs to be done to obtain the maximum pure yield of the product.
Concept Introduction :
Recrystallization is defined as a technique which is used to purify the chemicals. This is done by dissolving the impurities and compounds both in a solvent, the compound needs to be recrystallized can be removed from the solution.

Give a fundamental description of the recrystallization process. Explain why it is required and how it can be executed.
5.0 mL of 1-butanol was mixed with 10 mL of HCl. The reaction was put on an ice bath and 4 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added. This mixture was refluxed for 45 min and then the product was co-distilled with water using a simple distillation apparatus. Water and the product are immiscible.
1-butanol has a molar mass of 74.12 g/mol, a density of 0.810 g/mL, and a boiling point of 118 C.
The product has a molar mass of 92.57 g/mol, a density of 0.880 g/mL, and a boiling point of 78 C.
