Question : 19
Total: 40
Describe the method, which can be used to separate two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent S.
Solution:
Crystallization is the process that may be employed to seperate two compounds with different solubility in a given solvent at room temperature.
Upon heating such a solution to a sufficiently high temperature the solubility of the compound which is insoluble at room-temperature, increases and it dissolves. However, when this solution is cooled down to room temperature the lesser soluble or insoluble component precipitates out and is obtained as crystals while its soluble counterpart remains in solution. Thus, the separation is complete.
