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.

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.
