It is most useful when crystals are being filtered out of a desired product. Why is water a good solvent for the recrystallization of acetanilide? Acetanilide readily dissolves in hot water, but is insoluble at low temps. Thus, it dissolves in hot water but crystalizes easily when cool.

Why is water a good solvent for the recrystallization of acetanilide?

Water is a good solvent for the recrystallization of acetanilide only at high temperatures. This process does not work at low temperature water. At high temperatures this is a good solvent because its polarity is neutral and the molecules are rapidly moving around.


Is Chloroform a good solvent for recrystallization in acetanilide?

Chloroform is not a commonly used solvent for recrystallization of acetanilide. It is more commonly used for dissolving non-polar or slightly polar compounds. In the case of acetanilide, solvents such as ethanol or ethyl acetate are often preferred for recrystallization.


Explain why crystallisation would not be suitable for purifying water?

An ideal crystallization solvent should be unreactive, inexpensive, and have low toxicity.It is also important that the solvent have relatively low boiling point as its best if the solvent readily evaporate from the solid once recovered.For most organic compounds, water is not a good recrystallization solvent.

Explain why during the recrystallization of p-dibromobenzene the turbidity of the hot solution was used as an indicator for the ratio of ethanol to water used?

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.
