Eren, Rochelle, and Sarah were assigned to do a recrystallization experiment using three different solvents to purify and separate a mixture comprising compounds X and Y. The following are the solubilities of the two compounds in g/50 mL of hot and cold solvents: A. Given the above data, if a mixture containing 10.0 g each of X and Y is to be recrystallized from 100 milliliters of the solvents, what is the best solvent to use? Support your answer by doing a schematic diagram for EACH solvent. B. What is the \%recovery of X and Y in the chosen solvent? Show your complete solution. C. What is the \%purity of X and Y in the chosen solvent? Show your complete solution.
