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.

Please describe the primary reason for the different solubilities of the alcohols in the table below: Formula Name Solubility in H2O (g/100g) CH3OH Methanol infinitely soluble CH3CH2OH Ethanol infinitely soluble CH3(CH2)2OH Propanol infinitely soluble CH3(CH2)3OH Butanol 9 CH3(CH2)4OH Pentanol 2.7 CH3(CH2)5OH Hexanol 0.6
4-bromobenzoic acid (1.0 g) is dissolved in 20 ml dichloromethane. After addition to a separatory funnel, the dichloromethane solution is treated with 20 ml 3.0 M NaOH solution. After the layers are separated, which layer(s) will contain an organic compound (non-solvent)? What would happen if the aqueous layer is treated with 20 ml 3.0 M HCl?

Your employer hands you a heterogeneous mixture and asks you to isolate all of thehexane that you can from it. After some analysis, you determine that the mixture contains toluene, hexane,benzoic acid, water, sodium chloride, and sand. Explain how you would isolate pure hexane from thismixture. Remember that you can use techniques such as filtration, extractions, and acid/base chemistrythat we learned earlier in this course in addition to distillation. You may need to look up solubilities and/orboiling points online to solve this problem. You only need to isolate the hexane?
