Recrystallization in the case of two solvents

AI Thread Summary
To recrystallize a compound that is very soluble in solvent A at room temperature and sparingly soluble in solvent B at its boiling point, start by adding 1g of the compound to a conical flask. Heat 4ml of solvent B to just below its boiling point, then add solvent A until the compound is barely dissolved. Allow the solution to cool slowly to promote crystal growth, then filter the crystals using a Buchner funnel and aspirator. Rinse the crystals with cold solvent B to prevent them from dissolving again in solvent A. This method effectively utilizes the solubility characteristics of both solvents for successful recrystallization.

Homework Statement



In point form briefly explain how you would go about recrystallizing a compound very soluble in solvent A at room temperature and sparingly soluble in solven B at the bp of B.




The Attempt at a Solution


-Add 1g of compound to a conical flask
-Add 4ml of solvent B to the conical flask and heat to just below bp
-To this, add solvent A until compound is barely dissolved.
-Allow the solution to cool slowly in order for the crystals to grow and filter using Buchner funnel and aspirator.
-Rinse crystals using cold solvent B.

I used solvent B first because generally the compund should be sparingly soluble in the solvent at room temp and the compound is very soluble in A.

I rinsed the crystals in cold solvent B so as to not dissolve the crystals again as the compound is very soluble in A

Is this correct?

can anyone help me with this?
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
