Two-Solvent Recrystallization Guide Overview: For a two-solvent recrystallization, you should have one solvent (solvent #1)in which your desired compound is soluble at the boiling point. The second solvent(solvent #2) should induce crystallization when added to a saturated solution of your compound in the primary solven Reference See Zubrick pages 114-117 Recrystallization Steps I)The first step is to remove insoluble material from your compound by filtration 2)Transfer the material to a 50-mL Erlenmeyer flask, equipped with a stir bar. Add an excess amount of solvent #l(about 20 mL in experiment 3. 1)and heat to boiling on a stir/hot plate. The excess solvent is used to keep the compound from precipitating during the filtration 3) Filter off any insoluble contaminants through fluted filter paper in a pre-warmed stemless funnel(pre-warm by adding some hot solvent just before you filter the solution, thus preventing loss of material on the filter paper. 4)Wash the flask and filter paper with about 2 mL of hot solvent. 5)Reduce the volume of the solution( to about 15 ml by boiling off the excess solvent 6)Cool to room temperature. At this point, it is probably not a saturated solution, so crystallization will not occur 7) Add solvent #2 dropwise until the solution just becomes cloudy. Again heat the solution to the boiling point (with stirring! and continue addition of solvent #2. After each drop, you will notice a cloudiness that dissolves away. Continue dropwise addition of solvent #2 ntil the solution is saturated (i.e. if you were to add one more drop, the cloudiness would
