Mother liquor is a deprecated term from older chemistry texts that refers to the solution that remains after crystallization occurs and the crystals are removed.
Crystallization may require more time and effort to obtain pure crystals compared to evaporation to dryness. Crystallization can also lead to loss of product if the crystals are difficult to separate from the mother liquor. Additionally, some compounds may not readily form crystals, making crystallization less effective in those cases compared to evaporation to dryness.
Some reasons why crystallization process will not give 100 percent recovery include impurities present in the solution which may remain in the mother liquor, incomplete dissolution of the solute, losses during filtration or other separation steps, and solute degradation or decomposition during the process.
when do we use crystallization to separate components
For example salts can be separated by crystallization.
Yes, it is. You dissolve your substance in the smallest amount possible of something suitable, hot - often ethanol. Then you cool it down and the substance should solidify. You filter to keep the solid and get rid of the impurities in the liquid. The trick is choosing the solvent wisely so that you get a good solubility when hot and not when cold.
Answer: No, only ingenous rocks undergo crystallization. :)
Yes. You can definitely use crystallization in a sentence.
crystallization usually takes a long time. Crystallization is the reason that water expands as it freezes.
In chemistry carefully pouring off the liquid (mother liquor) from the precipitate. It depends which one is of interest as to what hpppens next.
Crystallization usually releases heat, as the molecules in the liquid state come together to form a solid structure resulting in the release of energy. This process is known as the heat of crystallization.
