Transcribed Image Text:Why is methanol chosen as the solvent for recrystallization?
(Check all that apply.)
Because the product and the impurities dissolve well at the
boiling point of the solvent.
Because it can easily be boiled off.
Because the reactants dissolves less than the product in
methanol at low temperatures.
Because the product dissolves less than the reactants in
methanol at low temperatures.
Because it has a low boiling point

Transcribed Image Text:Why are ice and water added to the reaction mixture after
the reaction was completed? (Check all that apply.)
To protonate the intermediate to form the product
To increase the volume of the solution.
To cause the organic compounds to precipitate.
To dilute the solution before filtration to avoid that the filter
paper to dissolve
To deprotonate the intermediate to form the product
Expert Solution

Step 1
Answer:
- Methanol is a low boiling solvent. Polar impurities soluble readily.
- Because of product soluble less than reactant (impurity). we remove impurities easily.
