1 Benzoic Acid Readily Dissolves In Acetone At Room Temperature Would Acetone Be A Suitable Solvent For Recrystallizat 1 (37.82 KiB) Viewed 34 times

1. Benzoic acid readily dissolves in acetone at room temperature. Would acetone be a suitable solvent for recrystallization? Why or why not? 2. During a recrystallization you notice the solution is yellow in color yet the product should be white. What should you do to remove the color impurity? 3. Use the solubility data for naphthalene that is shown in the table below. If 1.5 grams of naphthalene was going to be recrystallized, how much water would be required to dissolve the naphthalene at the boiling point of water? In theory, how much naphthalene could be isolated if the hot solution containing the dissolved naphthalene was cooled to room temperature (25°C)? Temperature (°C) 10 25 50 100 Solubility (mg Naphthalene/ L Water) 19 31.6 80.9 638.2
