a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Effect of unnecessarily large volume of solvent in recrystallization process 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.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:No use of fresh cold solvent to wash crystals in recrystallization process 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.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Use of fresh hot solvent to wash crystals in recrystallization process 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.

d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Effect of use of large quantity of decolorizing carbon 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.

e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Effect of formation of crystals by solidified mass of oil separated from hot solution 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.

f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Effect of acceleration of crystallization by immediate placement of flask of hot solution in ice-water bath 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.

Assume that your compound recrystallizes equally well from benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. Which solvent is the better choice for recrystallization? a. Benzyl alcohol because it is miscible with water. b. Isopropyl alcohol is better because it has a much lower boiling point and is easier evaporate off c. A mixed solvent - benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol d. It doesn't matter which one if they work equally in the recrystallization process.
