Questions and Answers

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
  • What is the purpose of keeping the solution hot during the recrystallization process from a mixed solvent system?
