    Holy crap! I know this guy and let me tell you he is the best biology teacher I have ever had and is just the nicest, kindest and most patient professor/ human I have ever met.
    I am in university now far away from where this guy works but man this video makes me miss his class and him in genral.

    Believe me, we did try a lab coat, but the studio lights were so intense that our instructor shone like a fluorescent bulb, ruining the whole frame. We tried *three* different shirts until we decided to go with this very unprofessional-looking shirt, which worked the best with the lights.

    This video shows you how to do it the long, complicated, unnecessary way. All you have to do is remove the lighter from underneath and you get recrystallization. It's that easy. "Hands on" is always the best way to learn anything

  • @Forlo12345
    @Forlo12345 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is, the purpose of putting it into the ice bath is just to get more precipitate. Usually it isn't such a good idea, depending on the solvent and what compounds you have in solution. It was okay in this experiment because he probably formed the compound with nitric acid and sulfuric acid (hence, nitrated benzoic acid). In which case, nitric acid and sulfuric acid are completely soluble in water, so they will remain in solution regardless, but precipitate the crystals.

  • @DavidSmith-rs8yk
    @DavidSmith-rs8yk 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hmm, not too sure about this as all you have done is
    dissolve the solid and then recrystallize it without filtering out the solid
    impurities and then separately filtering away the soluble impurities in the
    second stage. A simple method to purify by recrystallization: dissolve crude
    product in the minimum of a suitable HOT solvent, promptly filter through a hot
    Buchner (thus removing insoluble impurities), allow to SLOWLY fully
    recrystallize, maybe cool if required, re-filter in a fresh Buchner ensuring
    whole surface of paper is covered in pure solid, gently pack-down to ensure
    maximum drying effect of airstream, recover, air-dry, weigh and do MPt
    determination. For a higher level of purification activated charcoal is used in
    the first solution stage to absorb more impurities.

    • @taylorbarnes8373
      @taylorbarnes8373 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Steven Ingersoll by selecting a solvent that will dissolve the majority of chemicals, by checking their solutes, you can deal with other impurites with a different solvent later.

  • @BirchWeber
    @BirchWeber 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Will slowly taking the solution down in temperature instead of removing from the hot plate entirely slow the recrystalization process and capture less impurities, or is it best to allow the solution to cool to room temp as shown in the video?

    • @emlmm88
      @emlmm88 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've seen both done. My guess is that the former will produce the best results, but will be much more work and time intensive.

    I don't think taking the temp down slowly would be helpful. It seems to me you would lose more solvent by doing that which would trap impurities due to a quicker crystallization. Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

      @VarietyRulez 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Measure the melting point range of your recovered crystals and then compare your measured range to the known literature melting point range of that compound. If your measured range is lower, then your compound is still impure. If your measured range is about the same as the known literature range, then your product is pure.

      You need something irregular shaped in the solvent so it provides nucleation points for the vapour bubbles. The wooden stick is a porous material - if you place it in near boiling water you can see tiny bubbles forming on it.
      He used it because of the little volume of solvent but for larger vlumes, magnetically stirring the suspension will also work to even out the boil and distribute heat.

    • @karthiknadendla4433
      @karthiknadendla4433 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Theoretically, reflux does not allow solvents to evaporate from the system, i.e. the amount of substance per volume of solvent (concentration) does not change.
      But in the case of recrystallization, we have to evaporate the solvent so that the compound reaches its solubility limit (...and goes beyond the limit at high temperature). And then we cool the solvent so that the compound crashes out of the solution as crystals.

      @DavidSmith-rs8yk 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, recrystallization is a separate stage after the reaction has been completed, hence it doesn't affect reaction yield but it does of course reduce overall yield of the whole process.
