Isomerization: Compare the physical constants to eliminate solvent choices.Determine solubility of each solid substance in each of the five solvents at room temperature.
Isomerization. Criteria for a solvent to be suitable for use to recrystallize a solid: The solid sample should (a) have a melting point higher than the boiling point of the solvent, (2) be insoluble in the solvent at room temperature,(3) soluble in the solvent at a higher temperature and (4) crystallize, from its hot clear … Read more
