Chapter 3.2, Problem 14E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Use and reason for use of celite in recrystallization should be determined.

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?
Using recrystallization techniques, a student attempts to purify 0.50 g of compound H. Based on the solubility of H in the chosen solvent at collection temperature, the maximum percent recovery is 82%. The student obtains 0.396 g of purified crystals. What is their percent recovery? Group of answer choices 41% 64% 79% 82% 97% none of these
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. What is the nucleophile in this reaction? What is the role of H2SO4 in this reaction? Calculate the theoretical yield for this reaction. Give your answer in grams.  Select the following statements that can be said about the reaction shown.
