Several organic chemists when making a new solid compound

Reference no: EM13186561

Many organic chemists when making a new solid compound often first try ethanol as a recrystallizing solvent. If soluable at room temperature, they simply add water and this often works! Why?

As indicated in the problem above, a mixture of ethanol and water is often used as a recrystallizing solvent, but not a mixture of benzene (C6H6) and water. Why not?
