What should be the temperature of the solvent before adding it to the sample to be recrystallized?

Chemistry

Serhud [2]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Near the boiling point of the solvent

Explanation:

The process of recrystallization is hinged on the fact that the amount of solute that can be dissolved by a solvent increases with temperature. The process involves creation of a solution by dissolving a solute in a solvent at or near its boiling point.  At the boiling point of the solvent, the solute has a greater solubility in the solvent; not much volume of  the hot solvent is required to dissolve the solute.

Before the solution is later cooled, you can now filter out insoluble impurities from the hot solvent. The quantity of the original solute drops appreciably because impurities have been removed. At this lower temperature, the solution becomes saturated and the solute can no longer be held in solution hence it forms pure crystals of solute, which can be recovered.

Recrystallization must be carried out using the proper solvent. The solute must be relatively insoluble in the solvent at room temperature but more soluble in the solvent at elevated temperature.

nika2105 [10]

Answer: Refrigerator and fire extinguisher

Explanation: Refrigerator:An evaporator fan draws air from the refrigerator and blows it over the evaporator coils. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and the air blows back into the refrigerator at a lower temperature, cooling the refrigerator. The liquid refrigerant starts to vaporize as it heats up and moves to the compressor.

Fire extinguisher:They work by smothering the fire: when you put a layer of powder or foam on the fire, you cut the fuel off from the oxygen around it, and the fire goes out. Carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers contain a mixture of liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide (a nonflammable gas).

expeople1 [14]
The complete chemical reaction of aqueous Sodium sulfate and aqueous Barium nitrate is

Na_{2}  SO_{4} (aq) + Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) -\ \textgreater \  BaSO_4(s) + 2NaNO_3(aq)

The right side and the left side of the reaction have equal number of elements, therefore it is balanced.

Electrons are always shared evenly during covalent bonding.<br> O True<br> False
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

There are two types of covalent bonding: polar covalent boding and nonpolar covalent bonding. During polar covalent bonding, the electrons are not shared evenly. This is due to the electronegativity differences between the two atoms. During nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are shared evenly.

A brick has dimensions of 15 cm x 6.0 cm x 12 cm. What is the volume of the brick in cubi meters?
Likurg_2 [28]
Convert all of the units from centimeters to meters by moving the decimal point over to the left two digits.

0.15 m x 0.06 m x 0.12 m

Volume = length x width x height
             = 0.15 x 0.06 x 0.12 = 0.00108 m^3
