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.

- In fractional distillation, liquid can be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling flask. What effect does this returning condensate have on the fractional distillation?arrow_forwardVapor-pressure lowering is a colligative property, as are freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation. What is a colligative property? Why is the freezing point depressed for a solution as compared to the pure solvent? Why is the boiling point elevated for a solution as compared to the pure solvent? Explain how to calculate T for a freezing-point depression problem or a boiling-point elevation problem. Of the solvents listed in Table 10-5, which would have the largest freezing-point depression for a 0.50 molal solution? Which would have the smallest boiling-point elevation for a 0.50 molal solution? A common application of freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation experiments is to provide a means to calculate the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute. What data are needed to calculate the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute? Explain how you would manipulate these data to calculate the molar mass of the nonvolatile solute.arrow_forwardWhat is the kinetic property observed in suspension?

- An ideal recrystallization solvent should have a large gradient of solubility along with temperature, has the ability to dissolves the impurities very well and must not chemically react with the product. For each of the three reasons given, give an explanation for why they are a reason that make an ideal recrystallization solvent?arrow_forward6.arrow_forwardIn a mixed solvent system, what is the role of the "poor" solvent? a.to DECREASE the solubility of the solute in the good solvent and saturate the solution b. to INCREASE the solubility of the solute in the good solvent and saturate the solution c. to DECREASE the boiling point of the mixturearrow_forward
- Draw a phase diagram showing how the phase boundaries differ for a pure solvent compared with a solution. Give an explanation for the phase diagram.arrow_forwardA chemist is given a nonelectrolyte white powder for analysis. 38.7 g of this substance is dissolved in 100.0 g of water. It is determined that the resulting solution freezes at -4.0°C. Additionally, the elemental composition of the substance is identified and found to be 40.0% C, 6.7% H and 53.3 % O by mass. Find the molecular formula of this unknown white powder using these experimental evidences (Kr of water: 1.86°C/m, C: 12 g/mol, H: 1 g/mol, O: 16 g/mol).arrow_forward)Identify which ONE of the following statements is INCORRECT relating to the dissolution of ionic solids. a. Dissolution involves a balance of attractive and repulsive forces in the crystal structure and between ions and water molecules. b. Hydration shells of water molecules form around each ion in solution. c. Ion-dipole interactions form between the ions and water. d. The enthalpy of dissolution must be exothermic for dissolution to occur. e. The unit formula of an ionic solid indicates the stoichiometric ratio of ions that will exist in solution.arrow_forward
