The identity of the solvent that is used in recrystallization is very important because only if the correct solvent is used, will the product be purified and recrystallized as desired. The product, benzanilide, is soluble in hot ethanol, but not in cold ethanol. Any impurities that are expected to arise from the reaction are not soluble in hot ethanol and soluble in the cold ethanol, and thus it is the perfect solvent for the recrystallization process, as only benzanilide is soluble in it and when it is cooled only benzanilide will crystallize out, while any impurities will be left behind in the solution.

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.
