Summarize how you would could purify benzhydrol using recrystallization in hexane
Hot solvent hexane is added slowly allowing benzhydrol to dissolve completely. The test tube is swirled gently untill all of it is dissolved into the solvent. Then the solution is allowed to cool at room temperature. Slow cooling caused the crystals to attract to its like molecules and form pure form of crystal possible. Slow cooling is done in recrystallisation so that impurities are unable to get trapped into pure lattice. Vaccum filteration can be done further to collect pure crystals.
