What was our objective in the Recrystallization of Impure Solids Lab?
To obserce the formation of crystalline solids from solution. the seperation and purification of mictrures of organic compounds in two physical states
The solids that were used for the recrystallization lab was?
Benzoic acid, Acetanilide, and Napthalene
What is a pure compound?
A homogenous sample consisting opnly of molecules having the same structure. however, somtimes can contain contaminants....
Other techniques for purifying solids are...?
Sublimation, extraction, and chromatography
What is the whole point in recrystalizing?
Dissolving the solids in an appropiate solvent allows the crystals to reform on cooling, and impurities remain in solution.
Almost all solids are more soluble in ______ than in ______ solvents
Hot, cold
Upper extreme is determined by ___________of a solvent while, the lower limit is by ____________
Boiling point, experminetal convenience
What are the steps required for recrystallization?
Selection, Dissolution, Decoloration, Formation, Isolation, and Drying
Dicholormethane vs, acetone
Dichloromethane is nonpolar, acetone is polar
A unknown can be determined by its physical description for example?
Melting points, bp, index of refraction, density, specific rotation and solubility
