What is the purpose of using a GOOD solvent in the mixed solvent technique for recrystallization?

To dissolve the compound very well even at room temperature (correct)

To prevent the recrystallization process

To create a permanent cloud in the solution

To dissolve the compound only at boiling temperature

What is the characteristic of a POOR solvent in the mixed solvent technique?

Facilitates the recrystallization process

Creates a homogeneous solution with the compound

Dissolves the compound very well even at room temperature

Does not dissolve the compound at both room and boiling temperature (correct)

What does it mean for two solvents to be miscible?

They fully dissolve in each other at any concentration (correct)

They are not suitable for recrystallization

They form separate layers

They have different boiling points
