- A student performs a crystallization on an impure sample of biphenyl. The sample weighs 0.5 g and contains about 5% impurity. Based on his knowledge of solubility, the student decides to use benzene as the solvent. After crystallization, the crystals are dried and the nal weight is found to be 0.02 g. Assume that all steps in the crystallization are performed correctly, there are no spills, and the student lost very little solid on any glassware or in any of the transfers.

You begin testing the solution through the steps outlined in the flowchart of the experiment’s PDF file. You first add HCl and centrifuge your mixture. You observe the formation of a white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. After pouring off the supernatant liquid, you add hot water to the white precipitate. Upon addition of the hot water, you have some white precipitate still at the bottom of the test tube, and the supernatant liquid is poured off. To this liquid, potassium chromate (K2CrO4) is added. Upon this addition of potassium chromate, you observe no formation of precipitate. Which of the following is a valid conclusion to draw at this point? (Choose one.) Select one: 1.
