Recrystallization and Yield Caluclations: Calculation yields of real reactions and how too boost them (or be more accurate) in terms of Recrystallization technique

Solution Preview

Hi there,

I hope these help you :)

Work through these yourself too, especially the yield calculation as this will come up a lot in your lab studies!

Good luck!

1. There are currently 15.2 mmol Salicylic acid (2.1/138) and 36.3 mmol acetic anhydride ([4/1.08]/102.1)
So there are 2.4 equvalents of acetic anhydride to salicylic acid
- the theoretical yield would be unaffected since salicylic acid is still the limiting reagent!
- if you ...

  • Recrystallization

    c) If washed with hot solvent, some of the crystals will redissolve and thus lower the yield of pure crystals.

  • Atomistic level processes

    As the grain grows, the total grain boundary surface area and corresponding grain boundary surface energy reduces. The increase in grain size produces a decrease in yield strength. Ductility has further been increased.
