FAQ: If we add too much solvent do we just boil it off? In some ways, too little solvent is actually worse than too much. - experiment number (e.g., Exp 7), Let's take a look at the details of the recrystallization process. Overview: For a two-solvent recrystallization, you should have one solvent (solvent #1) in which your desired compound is soluble at the boiling point. Disturbing the solution can break up any seed crystals6 that have started growing.7. The solution is allowed to gently and slowly cool down. It is impossible to know exactly how long it will take for the crystals to form. 4 0 obj :XX1AB0MM
