Why is a solid recrystallized with the minimum of hot solvent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Recrystallization refers to the method used for purifying chemical compounds. In this method, the chemical compound along with the impurities is dissolved in an appropriate hot solvent, to separate the chemical compound and the impurity.

The pure chemical compound that separates after the recrystallization process exists in the form of crystals.

Generally, the impure chemical compound is fully dissolved in the <u>minimum amount of the solvent</u>, thus forming a saturated solution. This is because if large amount of solvent is used, then a large amount of the chemical compound will remain dissolved in the solvent, even after cooling.

<u>Therefore, all of the chemical compound will not get recrystallized.</u>

when 6.25 grams of pure iron are allowed to react with oxygen , a black oxide forms. if the product weighs 8.15 g, what is the e
erik [133]
We are given with the mass of  pure iron that reacts with oxygen to form an oxide which has a given mass as well. the mass of oxygen reacted is 8.15-6.25 g or 1.9 grams. THen we convert the mass of the reactants to moles. Iron is equal to 0.1119 moles and oxygen is equal to 0.1188. We divide each number to the less amount. Hence iron is 1 and oxygen is approx 1. The empirical formula hence is FeO or ferrous oxide or Iron (II) oxide.

Which of the following statements is true about catalysts? and Why?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Catalysts lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. It <span>is a substance which speeds up a reaction, but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. It provides another pathway for the reaction to occur.</span>
