Shadowz said:I read many procedure for inorganic/organic synthesis, and see that most often after filtering the product, they suggest to wash them with small amount of methanol and ethyl ether.
Why do we have to use those 2 solvents to wash our products?
Which compound description do you mean? Inorganic, or Organic? Maybe some inorganic compounds are fairly insoluble in methanol or ethyl ether. Best guess is that many or most organic compound may be soluble in methanol or ethyl ether; salts are likely insoluble in the organic solvents (is this a bad assumption?)Shadowz said:I read many procedure for inorganic/organic synthesis, and see that most often after filtering the product, they suggest to wash them with small amount of methanol and ethyl ether.

That's the basic idea. But I wonder why it has to be methanol and dimethyl ether, but not other organic solvents.
