Outline the successive steps in the crystallization of an organic solid from a solvent and state the purpose of each operation. (1.5 points)

Answer and Explanation:

Answer and Explanation:

Steps Of Crystallization

1). Solvent selection: '. It is important that the selected solvehave a low boiling point to facilitate the dissolution of solutes.

2). Dissolution: the given compound is placed in the the solution and stirred to to dissolved the solid and impurities too.

3). Decolorization: I'm the presence of any colored impurities, a small amount of charcoal is added to the solution to the solution to trap the color and precipitate it

4). Filtration (Impurities): the solution is filtered again to remove the charcoal alongside the impurities trapped in it.

5). Crystallization: the solution is allowed to cool at room temperature. So that the crystal can form forms.

6). Filtration (Compound): this step is to filter the solvent in order to remove all impurities including soluble solids and collect the crystal on the filter paper

7). Drying: the crystals is dried to remove any form of solvent trapped within it.
