Question
Chapter 3, Problem 6Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of the incomplete drying of the sample on the melting point should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Temperature at which an element changes from the solid state to the liquid state is known as melting point or sometimes liquefaction point. At the melting point, both solid and liquid phase coexist in equilibrium. It depends on the pressure and is normally defined at the standard pressure

He observed that compound X is insoluble in methanol at room temperature and also insoluble at boiling temperature. Is methanol a good recrystallization solvent? A. Yes, you want to only dissolve the impurities and the sample should remain undissolved. B. No, you need a solvent which fully dissolves the sample only at room temperature so that it can crystallize in the ice bath. C. No, you need a solvent which dissolves the sample only at boiling temperature for selective crystallization upon cooling. D. Yes, you don't want the solvent to fully dissolve the sample at both temperatures so that it will crystallize in the cooling step.
