Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 17E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Solvents or mixture of solvents that can be considered for recrystallization of solids A and b should be explained.
Concept introduction:Criteria mentioned below should be used to select solvent for recrystallization.
1. Solvent should be able to dissolve desired compound in itself at high temperatures but insoluble at low temperatures. In short, solvent with favorable temperature coefficient should be used for particular solute.
2. Solvent should be chosen in such way that impurities are either insoluble in it or remain moderately soluble in it at low temperatures.
3. Boiling point of desired solvent should be low so that it gets separated from crystals easily.
4. Boiling point of solvent should be less than melting point of solid under consideration.
5. There should be no reaction between solvent and substance that needs to be purified.

Just because there appears to be a good match between solubility characteristics between solute and solvent doesn’t mean you’ve found a good system. For example, benzyl alcohol appears to have favorable solubility characteristics with fluorenol, but it is a poor choice of solvent. Explain why this might be.
It is important that the correct solution is used for rinsing volumetric glassware. Discuss how your results would be affected if you had used the wrong solutions to rinse the glassware. Briefly explain your answers.
Explain how acidification or neutralization can impact the solubility of a compound (for example,
compare the solubility of sodium salicylate in water to the solubility of salicylic acid.) How can this
be used to purify a mixture using liquid/liquid extraction?
