Question

A synthesis reaction calls for the trituration of the crude product prior to recrystallization. Select the most likely consequence of failing to triturate the crude reaction product.

-The recrystallized product will contain less impurities than it would if it had not been triturated

-Less of the crude product will recrystallize from the recrystallization solvent

-Less of the crude product will dissolve into the recrystallization solvent

-The mass of the recrystallized product will be lower than it would have been if it were triturated

A reaction product mixture containing hydrocarbons in diethyl ether is washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (brine) solution in a separatory funnel. Select the most likely reason for this step.

-This step is to extract the ether into the aqueous layer

-This step is to extract the hydrocarbons into the aqueous layer

-This step is to extract sodium chloride into the ether layer

-This step is to remove water from the ether layer

Explanation / Answer

-The recrystallized product will contain less impurities than it would if it had not been triturated

-This step is to remove water from the ether layer
