which of the following techniques is used for purification of solid organic compound?
(a) crystallization (b) distillation
Answers
Answer:
(a) Crystallization
Explanation:
Crystallization is used for purification of solid organic compound. In this technique, substances are dissolved in the hot solvent up to the saturation level. The substance gets crystallize after cooling down the solvent. Insoluble impurities can be separated by filtration while solvent is still hot. The pure crystals of solid organic compound are collected by filtration, washed with the help of cold solvent for removing the impurities upon the surface.
Crystallization techniques is used for purification of solid organic compound.
Explanation:
- In some of the substances crystal are formed. This occurs for solid organic compounds which accepts water of crystallization.
- The substance which forms crystals can easily be removed from the mixture of two or more substances. However in the process of distillation the liquid is converted to a gaseous substance.
- Since the ‘two substances’ have different boiling point they form gas at different temperature.
- By using this process they are separated from each other. But for the purification of solid organic compound crystallisation is used.
