Discussion Section 6. Provide a detailed discussion written in past tense, impersonal and paragraph form interpreting all of the results. Discuss the solubility of benzoic acid in water at low temperature (near 0 °C in the ice- water bath) and at elevated temperature (near 100 °C in boiling water). Explain why water is a good solvent for benzoic acid recrystallization. Discuss the experimental %recovery. Explain why the %recovery must be less than 100% the mass of impure benzoic acid. How could the %recovery be improved? If the %recovery was equal to, or greater than, 100%, explain why. Discuss the appearance of the benzoic acid before and after recrystallization. Does the appearance suggest different purity? What should pure benzoic acid look like? Include all other relevant discussion regarding the experiment. Use additional pages as necessary. (4 points)
