Recrystallization Summary Lab 1. In one sentence, describe what you understand by recrystallization. 2. Write the 7 steps of a recrystallization experiment. 3. Give two properties of a good recrystallizing solvent. 4. Draw the structure of benzoic acid and 1-naphthol. 5. Assume you were given a mixture of acetanilide and benzoic acid. If the mixture only contains a trace amount of benzoic acid, what solvent would you choose from the given list and why? Diethyl ether, Hexane, Water, Toluene. 6. A student was given two choices of solvents to crystallize a sample of trans-cinnamic acid. The choices are methanol and DMSO. What solvent should the student select and why?

Identify the characteristics of a good recrystallization solvent. Select one or more: Dissolves a chemical sample well at low temperatures. Does not dissolve a chemical sample well at low temperatures. Dissolves a chemical sample well at high temperatures. Is not an organic liquid with a low boiling point. Does not dissolve a chemical sample well at high temperatures.

What are three properties a solvent should have for recrystallization of a particular organic compound? Dissolves the sample well when cold. Dissolves the sample well when hot. Dissolves impurities well when cold. Low solubility of sample when cold.
