Compare solubility of benzoic acid and the impurity in the solvent of choice (cold and hot) and determine if the chosen solvent would be a good solvent for recrystallization of benzoic acid
Experiment 1 Purification of an organic solid by recrystallization Objective: To purify a sample of benzoic acid contaminated with sand by recrystallization from water Crystalline state of matter is a highly organized state of matter. To form crystals, the molecules of the substance must arrange themselves in an orderly manner. Any impurity present in the […]
