Will the sample be contaminated with any of the impurities? Calculate the percent purity of the initial sample (in terms of compound A) ( i.e. express the amount of compound A in the initial sample as a percentage of the mass of initial sample). Calculate the percent purity of the final sample (in terms of compound A) - (i.e. express the amount of compound A in the final sample as a percentage of the mass of final sample). Did the recrystallization procedure result in an increase of the percent purity of compound A in the sample? Comment on the results.

1. An impure sample of compound A is contaminated with two impurities B and C. The sample is to be purified by recrystallization using ethanol as the solvent. The solubility properties of the three components are summarized below. Solubility in Solubility in ethanol Solubility in 50 mL Solubility in 50 mL ethanol at -78 °C at - 0°C ethanol at -78 °C ethanol at - 0°C (g) (g) Compound A 0.12 g/mL 0.02 g/mL Impurity B 0.58 g/mL 0.04 g/mL Impurity C 0.005 g/mL 0.0003 g/mL The impure (7.5 g) sample contains 5.0 g of compound A, 1.5 g of B and 1.0 g of C and is recrystallized using 50 mL of ethanol. The sample is boiled with 50 mL of ethanol, filtered by gravity and then cooled in ice and filtered by suction.
