1. 1. Describe an ideal solvent for recrystallization.
2. Is it reasonable to expect a 100% yield after recrystallization? Why or why not?
3. Why may using too much solvent for a recrystallization be a problem?
4. Where do the impurities go during the recrystallization process? Where are they after
vacuum filtration?
5. What can be done if crystals do not form after the recrystallization solution cools?
