Chapter 3.3, Problem 15E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Observation of original melting point as 150160 °C and melting point after recrystallization as 145145.5 °C should be determined.

Concept introduction:Melting point is temperature that involves conversion of substance from solid to liquid state. Both liquid and solid phases are present in equilibrium with each other at this temperature.

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.

State the reason why compound A (m.p. 99-100°C) is heated under vacuum.1. So that the sample heating temperature is not too high when heated under vacuum.2. So that the temperature is higher than the melting point of compound A.3. So that cold water is not required in the sublimator.
To find the theoretical % yield of a given reaction:1. actual amount obtained once crystallized2. (actual amount obtained / theoretical amount) x 1003. maximum amount of product that can be obtained / amount of initial reactant
The reason activated carbon decolorizes and purifies a product is:1. It helps dissolve the product and then recrystallize it.2. It reacts with impurities in the product and removes them.3. It retains impurities by adsorption, purifying the product.
