Chapter 3.2, Problem 28E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Whether some loss of sample mass is expected to occur or not after careful execution of recrystallization should be explained.

Concept introduction:Recrystallization is technique that is used for purification of organic compounds. This process includes dissolution of solid in specific solvent at high temperature and then crystals are made again by process of cooling. Temperature of crystals is decreased to allow impurities to remain in solution only.

Why is recrystallization not applicable to samples which contain large amount of impurities?
5. In preparation for the analyses of other types of samples that may reach your laboratory, the supervisor tasked you to research different extraction procedures for the analyses of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other related compounds so that you can purchase different extraction instruments. How will you convince him to buy a Supercritical Fluid Extraction Instrument? C
Which of the following statements is true when considering temperature during a recrystallization? More than one answer may be correct. Using ice to cool the sample will speed up the crystallization process so that large crystals will be formed. It is important that the sample is dissolved in just enough hot solvent. O Ideally the hot solvent used will keep the impurities dissolved OR not dissolve them at all. Enough cold solvent should be added to dissolve the sample BEFORE heating it past its boiling point.
