Recrystallization is the most common method of purifying solids involving the following steps: 1. Dissolve the solid (1.0 gram of low grade benzoic acid) in a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask with a minimum amount of suitable solvent at its boiling point (in this case approximately 75 mL of boiling water).The solvent is added in small portions to avoid excess. 2. In case some colored impurities are present, add a pinch or more of ______. Heat the solution containing the charcoal to boiling with frequent stirring.

As fast as possible, filter the solution while hot (to remove insoluble impurities) through fluted filter paper into an Erlenmeyer flask containing about 5 mL of water which is heated during the filtration process.(See to it that the funnel is hot to prevent crystallization on the funnel). 4. Divide the filtrate into 2 Erlenmeyer flask. Set aside one flask to cool slowly without disturbance to allow crystallization to take place. Place the other flask in an ice bath. Compare the appearance of the crystal in two ______.
