Question

After a recrystallization, a pure substance will ideally appear as a network of __________. If this is not the case, it may be worthwhile to reheat the flask and allow the contents to cool more _________

Answer 1

Answer:

Large crystals

Slowly

Explanation:

Recrystallization is a procedure used to purify an impure compound in a solvent. The concept used here is that the solubility of most of the solids increases with increase in temperature.

Recrystallization is also called as method of fractional crystallization.

After a recrystallization, a pure substance will ideally appear as a network of large crystals. If this is not the case, it may be worthwhile to reheat the flask and allow the contents to cool more slowly.
