    Recrystallization and Melting Point Determination of Benzoic Acid

    Uploaded by

    Joone Xyron Creencia
    This document contains a laboratory experiment on recrystallization and melting point determination of benzoic acid. It includes 6 questions about recrystallization techniques and solvent selection. Specifically, it asks about how fluted filter paper hastens filtration, techniques to prevent premature crystallization, choosing a solvent based on solubility data, determining purity after one recrystallization, identifying which solvent pairs can be used for mixed solvent recrystallization, and comparing advantages and disadvantages of mixed versus single solvent recrystallization.

    ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

    1. How does the fluted filter paper hasten filtration?


     Answer 1

    2. Explain two techniques that can help prevent premature crystallization. What could be the consequences of
    premature recrystallization?
     Answer 2

    3. A mixture containing 2.0 g of A and 8.0 g of B is to be separated by recrystallization. The components were
    purified by single crystallization using 100mL of solvent. Their solubilities are given in the table below:
    A B
    Solvent
    Hot Cold Hot Cold
    Ethanol 0.5 10.0 5.0 20.0
    Acetone 5.0 20.0 0.1 8.0
    Water 0.6 15.0 0.5 10.0
    a. Which solvent would you choose? Explain your choice by means of a schematic diagram.
    b. Theoretically, what is the purity of A and B after one recrystallization?

     Answer 3

    4. A mixture of three compounds. A, B, and C is purified using recrystallization method.


    Their solubilities in g/100mL ethanol are given below:
    Solvent A B C
    Cold 1.05 5.6 4.2
    Hot 20.5 2.3 3.5

    a. If a mixture containing 4.0 g each of A, B, and C is recrystallized from 100mL ethanol, which compound
    can be obtained pure?
    b. If the filtrate from (a) is evaporated to 50mL, which of the compound(s) will separate upon cooling?
    What is its purity?

     Answer 4

    cannot be used as solvent pairs for the experiment? Explain your answer.
    a. Hexane and water
    b. Chloroform and diethyl ether
    c. Acetone and methanol
