Answer: the following are essential factors to be considered when choosing a solvent for crystallization
1. The crystallization solvent should not dissolve the substance to be purified at room temperature, but it should dissolve it well at the solvent’s boiling point
2. The solvent should dissolve soluble impurities well at room temperature.
3. The solvent should not dissolve insoluble impurities even at the solvent’s boiling
point.
4. The solvent must not react with the substance to be purified .
The concept we are looking for here is electronegativity. This concept is a measure of how strong an atom or element can attract a pair, that is bonding, of electrons to itself.
Fluorine is the element or atom of the greatest electronegativity. Electronegativity would increase as we move left to right of the periodic table.
Answer:
2-methoxybutane
Explanation:
This reaction is an example of Nucleophilic substitution reaction. Also, the reaction of (S)-2-bromobutane with sodium methoxide in acetone, is bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2). The reaction equation is given below.
(S)-2-bromobutane + sodium methoxide (in acetone) → 2-methoxybutane
