The crude product X obtained is finally purified by recrystallization. You are provided with the following solvents in which product X has the following solubilities: acetone - slightly soluble at room temperature and soluble at boiling, chloroform- insoluble at room temperature and slightly soluble at boiling, hexane-insoluble at room temperature and at boiling, aqueous ethanol - very soluble at room temperature and slightly soluble at -78 °C, methanol soluble at all temperatures. Select the most suitable solvent for the recrystallization of product X giving reasons to justify your choice of solvents. Give your answer in point format.
