Assuming that charcoal and sugar are the main impurities present in a sample of crude acetanilide explain how recrystallization from water would remove each..?

You go to Marianopolis college, don't you?
Anyways, the answer is that Charcoal absorbs sugar, it is however insoluble in water and in such is removed by gravity filtration.

Why isn't it good to use a large quantity of activated charcoal in recrystallization to remove impurities?
It is not good because it binds to the compound, and it will cause sample loss.
Is charcoal a substance?
yes charcoal is simply carbon. Though other impurities may be present.
How does a charcoal become a diamond?
Under the influence of tremendous pressure and heat. Charcoal has too many impurities to ever become a Diamond.
Is charcoal a substance or a mixture?

What do charcoal water filters do?
Activated charcoal is the ideal water filter because it removes toxins from the water without stripping the water of salts and important minerals. Because impurities are kept in the filter, it's important to replace your water filter every 12 months to ensure it continues to work as it should. for more info visit here

For what purpose is charcoal used in recrystallization?
Activated carbon is also known as decolorizing carbon. It is used to remove the colored impurities from the sample. Activated carbon provides a high surface area to absorb colored impurities. http://designer-drugs.com/pte/12.162.180.114/dcd/chemistry/equipment/recrystallization.html

How much carbon does chacoal contain?
Charcoal is an organic material containing carbon and combustible impurities. When charcoal is burned the carbon content increases.
Why is charcoal fragile?
Because of the level of impurities in it which prevent the establishment of a strong crystal structure.
Does charcoal contain sulfur?
Most charcoal does contain sulfur. There are limit on how much sulfur commercial charcoal can contain. Pure carbon is an element and thus contains no sulfur (another element) but charcoal which is predominatly carbon is made from vegetable matter (wood, heated in anerobic (no oxygen) environment). As such there are "impurities" which remain in the charcoal.
