Question

Thank you!

While performing a recrystallization, a chemist notices that a small amount of the sample will not dissolve, even alter the recrystallization solution has been boiling for some time. Select the correct course of action. O Perform a gravity filtration with a stemless funnel. O Perform a gravity fitration with a long-stemmed funnet Isolate the insoluble material via filtration, grind it into a powder, and add it back to the recrystallization solution Cool the recrystallization solution to room temperature and then heat it again to dissolve the insoluble material.

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Cool the recrystallization solution to room temperature and then heat it again to dissolve the insoluble material.

Explanation: This method is for the solute which is insoluble and remain as such in the container,

Hot gravity method: This method is optionalif there is no visible of particulate matter and the solution is in the expected colour.

Therefore this method will not be applied for the above question.
