For most compounds, but not all, hot water dissolves more than cold. If you make a hot, concentrated solution, as it cools, it cannot hold all of the solute, so solute comes out of solution as (hopefully) crystals. This produces small and imperfect crystals. To make very large and near perfect crystals, very pure and clean cold solutions are evaporated very slowly (although there are other, more complex ways to do this).
What else can I help you with?
Why the collected crystals in a recrystallization are washed with cold water rather than warm water?
Crystals are washed with cold water during recrystallization to minimize solubility, reducing the risk of losing product through dissolution. Warm water can dissolve more impurities along with some of the desired compound, leading to lower yield and impure crystal formation.
Why you acidify the mixture before recrystallization?
Acidifying the mixture before recrystallization helps in converting any impurities that may be present in the mixture into their respective acid forms, which are typically more soluble in water. This makes it easier to remove the impurities during the recrystallization process, resulting in a purer final product.
If sugar was the main impuruty present in crude acetenilide would recrystalization from water be a good method of purification and why?
Yes. First we know acetneilide is soluble in water only when heated. We also know that sugar is soluble in water before and after heating. Therefore, when our sample cools, and recrystallization begins, the sugar should remain in solution, while the acetenilide crystallizes out. Therefore, when we wash our crystals, the sugar remains in solution and filters out.
What is the process of salt making?
Salt making typically involves collecting seawater in large shallow ponds and allowing it to evaporate under the sun. As the water evaporates, the salt is left behind in the form of crystals. These crystals are then harvested, washed, and dried to produce the final salt product. Additional processing steps may include grinding or iodization before packaging for sale.
What is the name of frozen water crystals?
The name of frozen water crystals is ice.
Why are the collected crystals in a recrystallization process washed with cold water?
The collected crystals in a recrystallization process are washed with cold water to remove impurities and excess solvent without dissolving the desired crystals. Cold water helps to minimize the solubility of the crystals, allowing for a more effective purification process.

Why cant we use recrystallization to purify sulfuric acid and lithium?
Sulfuric acid doesn't form crystals; lithium react with water.
Why is copper sulphate crystals gently washed with alchohol?
Copper sulfate crystals are washed with alcohol to remove any impurities or excess water that may be present on the surface of the crystals. Alcohol can help to dissolve these impurities and evaporate quickly, leaving behind clean and pure copper sulfate crystals.
Why you acidify the mixture before recrystallization?
Acidifying the mixture before recrystallization helps in converting any impurities that may be present in the mixture into their respective acid forms, which are typically more soluble in water. This makes it easier to remove the impurities during the recrystallization process, resulting in a purer final product.
How can we prepare potassium chromate?
To prepare potassium chromate, start by dissolving potassium dichromate in water and then adding potassium hydroxide to adjust the pH. The solution is then heated to evaporate water, leaving behind potassium chromate crystals. Purify the crystals by recrystallization to obtain pure potassium chromate.
Why is sodium chloride not suitable for recrystallization?
The crystallization/recrystallization of sodium chloride from water solutions is frequently used.

What has to be done to a reaction mixture to recover solid silver nitrate?
To recover solid silver nitrate from a reaction mixture, the solution needs to be evaporated to dryness to remove the water content. This will leave behind solid silver nitrate crystals that can then be collected by filtration. The crystals can then be washed with a small amount of cold solvent to remove any impurities before air drying.
What are the separation techniques for separating salt water from seawater?
The common separation techniques for separating salt water from seawater are distillation, reverse osmosis, and freezing. Distillation involves boiling the water and collecting the steam, leaving the salt behind. Reverse osmosis uses a membrane to filter out the salt ions. Freezing involves freezing the water and then separating the ice crystals from the remaining salt water.
Can you grow crystals with potassium permanganate?
Yes, potassium permanganate can be used to grow crystals through a process called recrystallization. By dissolving potassium permanganate in hot water and allowing it to cool slowly, crystals can form. However, the crystals may be small and not as visually appealing compared to other compounds commonly used for crystal growing.
When was Washed by the Water created?
Washed by the Water was created in 2007.
