In recrystallization from boiling water of benzoic acid contaminated with acetanilide, you begin with an impure sample of 4.7 grams. The % composition of the acetanilide impurity in the sample is 1.5 %. The solubility profile of benzoic acid and acetanilide in water is outlined below. Use this information to answer questions 16-18. Compound Solubility in water at 25°C Solubility in water at 100°C Benzoic Acid 0.34 g/100ml 5.6 g/100ml Acetanilide 0.53 g/100ml 5.5g/100 ml 16. Determine through calculation) the minimum amount of solvent (water) required for this recrystallization? A 1382 mi B. 86 ml C. 887 ml D84 m E 75 ml 17.
