is a solvent that shows the desired solubility
behavior for the substance to be crystallized.
recrystallizing solvent
The compound should be (blank) at room temp
insoluble
upon heating
very soluble
upon cooling
insoluble
It occurs when the solid substance melts and forms a liquid
that is insoluble in the solvent. When cooling the liquid becomes super
cooled liquid or oils. Oils may solidify if the temperature is lowered, yet
it will not crystallize.
Oiling out
Recrystallizing Solvent should be:
• Volatile enough to be easily removed from the solution after
crystallization.
• Chemical Reactivity should be low
• Neither decompose nor oxidize the desired substance.
• Should not react to the compound to be purified.
