1.Each of the student statements below is wrong. You will need to explain why they are not correct. (a) All my compound dissolved right away in the small amount of solvent I added at room temperature, and I didn’t need to heat it at all. This means I’m going to get lots of pure compound out. (b) I did a recrystallization of naphthalene and my percent recovery was very high (99%), so I must have pure product. (c) When you’ve dissolved all your compound in hot solvent, and you’re in a hurry, it’s ok to just place it straight into the ice bath.
