In a recrystallization experiment, why is a minimum amount of hot solvent used to dissolve the crude product?
Correct answer: A. To increase the yield of crystals
- A. To increase the yield of crystals
- B. To prevent decomposition of the compound
- C. To ensure rapid cooling
- D. To maximize solubility of impurities
Explanation
Using a minimum amount of hot solvent keeps the solution saturated, maximizing crystal yield upon cooling while impurities remain dissolved.
