Recrystallization Flashcards
The deposition of crystals from a solution
Crystallization
A fixed and rigid arrangement of atoms, molecules, or ions
Lattice Structure
A common method of purifying organic substances from the traces of foreign substances
Recrystallization
Maximum amount of solute that dissolves in each volume of solvent at a given temperature
Solubility
This process should be done as rapidly as possible to avoid undesirable premature recrystallization on the funnel.
Hot Gravity Filtration
A solvent that shows the desired solubility behavior for the substance to be crystallized.
Recrystallizing Solvent
employs a vacuum to hasten the passage of filtrate through the filter paper
Suction Filtration
To minimize clogging of the funnel stem during filtration
Short-stemmed funnel
To maximize the flow rate during filtration because of its larger surface area.
Fluted Filter Paper
also called vacuum filtration
Suction Filtration
Each sphere of lattice structure is called a ________ that represents an atom, ion, or molecule
Lattice Point
what is the formula for solubility?
unit: grams of solute/mL of solvent
little (sparingly soluble) or no solids dissolved
Insoluble
all solids dissolved
Soluble
Heat about ____ in a 250mL beaker.
100 mL of water
what is the formula for percent recovery?
mass of recrystallized solid divided by mass of crude sample x 100
Dissolve the ________ in 30 mL of water in a clamped 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask.
impure acetanilide
TRUE OR FALSE
Recrystallization is a common method of purifying organic substances from the traces of foreign substances by taking advantage of:
a. the difference in solubility at different temperature.
b. tendency of a growing crystal to exclude anything that does not fit into its lattice
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE
Repeating unit cells forms the “lattice structure” of a crystalline solid
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE
Prepare hot water bath inside the fume hood using the 150 mL beaker. Half fill the beaker with distilled water. Turn the temperature setting of the hot plate to 150C.
TRUE
