Question

if charcoal and sugar were present in crude acetanilide, would recrystallization from water be a good method of purification why explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

It would not be a good method

Explanation:

It would not be a good method because water will get evaporated while the particles remain the same...So the impurities won't be taken away...So it's not a good method.. Hope this helps u...Mark as Brainliest :)

Answer 2

Yes, If charcoal and sugar were present in crude acetanilide, recrystallization from water would be a good method of purification.

Justification for why recrystallizing from water would be a better option for the method of purifying a mixture of charcoal and sugar that is present in crude acetanilide:

• Charcoal present in crude acetanilide and water will be a heterogeneous mixture because they are physically insoluble. Since charcoal is insoluble in water, it will get separated during crystallization.
• The remaining part of the mixture is sugar and crude acetanilide left for recrystallization. In this mixture, crude acetanilide will be crystallized and get separated from sugar and water solution.
• The crystallized crude acetanilide will get collected by filtration.
• Since sugar and water is soluble solution it is left apart.
• This is how the recrystallization method from water is good for the purification and separates all the components of the mixture of charcoal and sugar from crude acetanilide.
