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.

Why is recrystallization not applicable to samples which contain large amount of impurities?
5. In preparation for the analyses of other types of samples that may reach your laboratory, the supervisor tasked you to research different extraction procedures for the analyses of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other related compounds so that you can purchase different extraction instruments. How will you convince him to buy a Supercritical Fluid Extraction Instrument? C
5. Discuss how melting points of the impure sample and recrystallized sample could have been used to determine the success of your recrystallization and identity of your unknown.
