purity.impurity of crystallization
A 3.5 g aspirin sample is 75% pure. The sample is recrystallized in water/ethanol mixture that has a solubility of 20.0 g/100 mL in hot solvent and 5.6 g/ 100 mL in ice cold solvent. Assume the main impurity has the solubility of 20.0 g/ 100 mL in hot solvent and 15.0 g/ 100 mL in ice cold solvent. Assume that the main impurity is the only impurity.
- What is the minimum amount of hot solvent need to dissolve all of the aspirin and the main impurity in hot solvent. Explain how you find the correct answer.
- What mass of aspirin is recovered. Explain how you find the correct answer.
- What is the % purity of the recrystallized aspirin? Explain how you find the correct answer.
