Q

The process of Recrystallization takes advantage of….? (2)

A
  1. the effect of temperature on solubility
  2. tendency of a growing crystal to exclude anything that does not fit into its LATTICE

Q

Criteria for choosing a SOLVENT for crystallizing a solute (3)

A
  1. solvent does not dissolve solute (compound to be crystallized) in ROOM TEMP
  2. solvent dissolved solute (compound to be crystallized) in HIGH TEMP
  3. no chemical reaction occurs

Q

5 steps in PURIFICATION by RECRYSTALLIZATION

A
  1. selection of solvent
  2. dissolution of crystals in minimum amount (recrystallization solvent) at higher temperature
    **if colored impurities are present, add decolorizing carbon to hot solution
  3. filter hot mixture (hot gravity filtration)
  4. slow cool to crystallize.
    **if nothing happens: (1) scratch inside surface of glass vessel ; (2) add “seed” crystal of compound
  5. remove soluble impurities from mixture
    *suction filtration
    *wash with cold solvent

Q

3 important techniques in recrystallization

A
  1. Hot Gravity Filtration (during recrystallization 1st)
  2. Suction Filtration (during recrystallization 2nd)

Q

2 main tools used for HOT GRAVITY FILTRATION

and why?

A
  1. Short-stemmed funnel (minimize clogging)
  2. Fluted filter paper (maximize filtration due to large surface area)
