Acetanilide

Problem:

The solubility of acetanilide in hot water is 5.5g/100 ml at 100oC and its solubility in cold water is
0.53g/100 ml at 0oC.

a) What is the theoretical percentage recovery from this experiment?


Equation:

Where: SH = solubility at high temperature


SC= solubility at cold temperature

b) What is the percentage recovery of pure acetanilide crystals if you use 5 grams of crude
acetanilide in 100 ml of water? The weighed dry crystals collected was about 2.6 grams.
Equation:
