Explain the method of recrystallization

Reference no: EM13210571

A student has been given an impure substance for purification. After careful consideration, the student decides to se the method of recrystallization. What should be the characteristics for a good solvent that the student should consider? Identify them by circling those that apply:

A) It should dissolve the compound in a reasonable volume.

B) It cannot react chemically with the compound to be purified.

C) It should either dissolve impurities exceedingly well (so that they remain in solution even when cooled) or not at all (so they can be mechanically moved from the hot solution).

D) Ideally it should have a boiling point lower than melting point of solid to be purified in order to avoid a situation in which the solid melts but does not dissolve.
