One property that a solvent should have to be well suited for recrystallization of a particular compound is high solubility. It should also readily dissolve the organic compound at high temperature and precipitate the compound at low temperature.
The coolness of the solution causes recrystallization. This is because the solute becomes solid at a higher temperature than the solvent.

Recrystallization is a procedure aimed at improving the quality of an impure solid compound by making its saturated solution in a suitable solvent, whereupon the pure compound separates out as crystals (with time), leaving behind the impurities in the solution.The crystals so obtained maybe collected by filtration.
When a substance dissolves in a solvent it is combined with the solvent to form a new compound. This new compound will have different chemical properties than either of the original compounds.
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the molecules. -Wikipedia

Yes. Heptane is an ideal recrystallization solvent for acetanilide.
none at all. i tried everything.
what is the disadvantage of having excess solvent during recrystalization
The solubilties of the solutes are involved.
Only those impurities can be removed which are soluble in solvent used.
A good solvent for recrystallization depends entirely on the polarity of the solid you're trying to purify. For example sodium chloride readily dissolves in water whereas naphthalene dissolves only in nonpolar solvents like hexane. To select a good solvent first consider the polarity of the compound of interest and pick a solvent that has the potential to dissolve it. Next suspend the solid in that solvent. You must pick another solvent if the solid completely dissolves in the selected solvent. Heat the mixture while stirring. If you reach the boiling point of the solvent and the compound hasn't dissolved, you must find a different solvent or add more of the solvent you are currently using. If your solid completely dissolves without too much of the chosen solvent, you have yourself a good solvent for recrystallization. To continue with the recrystallization simply allow the solvent to cool and your solid should precipitate out in the form of crystals. Put it in an ice bath to assist with the precipitation. The latter technique can lead to small crystals or powder. The best way to remedy this is to do a slow recrystallization. To do this you must use two solvents that will evaporate over a long period of time. One solvent must be very volatile and must be able to easily dissolve your compound at room temp. The other must be less volatile and your compound must be insoluble in this solvent. Note that this solvent must have the potential for dissolving the impurities in your compound. To perform the recrystallization, dissolve your compound in the "good" solvent and then add about the same amount of the "bad" solvent. Over a period of time, the "good" solvent should evaporate leaving your crystallized product in the "bad" solvent without any impurities.
its cheap, has high temp range of 100 degrees, nonflammable, nontoxic
1) It will have a boiling point that is lower than the melting point of the solid being recrystallized; 2) The compound will be soluble in the boiling solvent but have poor solubility in the same solvent after cooling; 3) Small amounts of impurities present in the crude solid will be soluble in the chosen solvent at any temperature
The properties that are desirable in a computer will depend on what you need it for. If you want it to play games, you will want a good video and audio card.
ethanol alone is not a good solvent for this substance recrystallization and the compound has a very low solubility in hot or cold water.so ethanol and water are mixed together as solvent for crystallization of p-dibromobenzene that is soluble in the hot solvent mixed.so the turbidity of the hot solution shows the good mixture of ethanol and water as solvent.
because ethanol dissolve urea at slightly higher temperature and not dissolve the impurities
