Recrystallization
Objective/Abstract:
The purpose of this lab is to purify solids contaminated by relatively small amount of impurities by a technique called Recrystallization. Compounds that have different solubility at different temperature usually can be recrystallized.
Formulas and Structures:
Benzoic Acid
Methanol
Percent Recovery: Indicates how much of the active ingredient was able to recover after the purification method.
Weight of benzoic acid obtained after recrystallization % Recovered = x100 …show more content…
I turned on the electrical heated sand bath and added the sold and a boiling stick to the test tube and gradually added desired hot water.
After boiling begins, I continued to add water until the sold dissolved
I removed the boiling stick, I corked the tube, clamped as it cooled, and observed recrystallization begin.
I turned the vacuum filtration to collect the crystals.
In another reaction tube, I dissolved 0.080mg of benzoic acid in the minimum volume of hot methanol; I added drops of water to the hot solution.
After the crystals form and recrystallization begin. I allowed the tube to cool slowly at room temperature, then cool in iced water and gather the crystals.
Then I used the spatula to collect a tip of crystal and allow drying between folds of filter paper which will be used for the melting point.
After I collected both crystals and compared the melting point of the crystals from both procedures.
