the solubility of acetanilide is 12.8 g in 100 ml of ethanol at 0 ∘c, and 46.4 g in 100 ml of ethanol at 60 ∘c. what is the maximum percent recovery that can be achieved for the recrystallization of acetanilide from ethanol?

a student was given a sample of crude acetanilide to recrystallize. the initial mass of the the crude acetanilide was 171 mg. the mass after recrystallization was 125 mg.

calculate the percent recovery from recrystallization.

72.41% and 26.90% respectively.

Explanation:

At 60°C, you can dissolve 46.4g of acetanilide in 100mL of ethanol. If you lower the temperature, at 0°C, you can dissolve just 12.8g, which means (46.4g-12.8g)=33.6g of acetanilide must have precipitated from the solution.

We can calculate recovery as:

So the answer to the first question is 72.41%.

For the second part just use the same formula, the mass of the precipitate is the final mass minus the initial mass, (171mg-125mg)=46mg.

So the answer to the second question is 26.90%.
