Usually, solvents at lower temperature can dissolve lower amount of crystals than solvents at higher temperatures.

For eg. if impurity is salt then you are better off washing it at a lower temperature as salts have a good solubility even at lower temperatures and as you raise temperature your crystals will start dissolving in the warm solvent.

How can you produce potassium gold cyanide give detail?

how I make PGC : 1. Make aquaregia (75% HCL + 25% HNO3) from high grade chemical. 2. Introduce the Gold (24 kt) in bulk or small piece in warm aquaregia for fast soluble. (gold : aquaregia is about 1 : 5 weight). 3. Heat the solution, don't exceed 85 degree Celcius. 4. A long heating introduce excess HCL. 5. Heat and evaporated until you got a concentrate like syrup that is Gold Chloride. 6. Gold chloride will become cristall when you cool the syrup. 7. Introduce a little water to disolve the gold chloride. 8. Make amonia solution of 30 ml Amonia in 100 ml water cocentration. (use high grade amonia). 9. Pour the amonia slowly to Gold Chloride until Ph=8. You will get the precipitate that call Gold Fulminating. Be carefull with the Fulminating, It should not to dry because it is Highly Explosive Danger ! 10. Wash the Precipitate to remove excess amonia. Wash several time until PH reach near 7. 11. Make another concentrate Potasium Cyanide solution (KCN). 12. Pour the KCN to Fulminating Gold slowly with agitation until all the fulminating disolve. You Got a solution name Mother Liquor. 13. Heat the Mother Liquor, my experience not over 65 degree celcius. Evaporate amonia from mother liquor until no amonia smell anymore. 14. Cristallize the PGC by continue evaporation. Vacum will be very helpfull. You don't need to evaporate all the mother liquor. Until you evaporate about 75% volume stop the process. Collect the PGC and keep the mother liquor. Dry the PGC by vacum. Mother liquor still can be use in the next production by mixed it with the next Fulminating. 15. Do the all the process in very good ventilation. Good luck.


What does centrifuging have to do with chemistry?

When a compound is dissolved in a solvent if it is not dissolve in it or if we want to separate the solid from it we use the centrifuge if we put the sample in it and set the RPM the solid particles settles with that speed of RPM that we have set so the we can filter or decant the filterate Mother liqour and proceed with the centrifugate to further step


What is meant by crystallinity in polymers?

Crystals are type of solid state bodies whose structural order are well defined and have a unique lattice structures. There is a perfect distance between the various layers in its structure. Crystallinity has big influence on the hardness, density of the body. Non- Crystalline substances are the ones who lack the structural order and do not posses the well defined lattice structure. They tend to have lower density and low melting point as there atoms are scattered. Crystals have high tensile strength while the non crystals are not.
