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.

A student performs a crystallization on an impure sample of biphenyl. The sample weighs 0.5 g and contains about 5% impurity. Based on his knowledge of solubility, the student decides to use benzene as the solvent. After crystallization, the crystals are dried and the nal weight is found to be 0.02 g. Assume that all steps in the crystallization are performed correctly, there are no spills, and the student lost very little solid on any glassware or in any of the transfers. Why is the recovery so low?
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.
