Answer #1

Sometime very difficult to find a single solvent with appropriate dissolving power and difficult to decide exactly how much of the solvent require for perfect crytallization. That time two or more than two different solvwnt can be used for better solubility of compound alongwith with impurity with minimum solvent. After getting perfect combination the pure compound get recrytallized from solution at cold temperature this type of process called as mixed solvent recrystallization. Mixed solvents that are used should be co-soluble.

It can be used when sample is not or partial soluble in single solvents.

Question about mixed solvents for recrystallization. I am having a hard time conceptualizing how a mixed solvent would work in a scenario where P and O nitronitroacetanilide are recrystallized with a small amount of hot Ethanol followed by a larger volume of water. From the structure of the molecules I assumed that the Para form of nitroacetanilide is more polar than the Ortho form. Second, I know that water>ethanol for polarity. Finally, I know that water and ethanol can hydrogen...

In an experiment where students are isolating Acetylsaliclic Acid (ASA) from Aspirin tablets, would recrystallization work if you had 5 grams of an impurity contaminating 1 gram of your desired product and both were soluble in the recrystallization solvent at its boiling point and insoluble at room temperature? Why or why not?

Explain briefly why recrystallization can never result in 100% mass recovery even if you used pure material. Also explain why mass recovery is greater if you cool to 0 degrees C rather than room temperature. Explain very briefly why mass recovery is reduced if you use an excess amount of boiling solvent and why washing product crystals with excessive amounts of solvent especially warm solvent can result in reduced mass recovery.
