Question

You have identified your product to be butylnapthyl ether and recrystallize it. The initial mass of the the crude ether was 141 mg. The mass after recrystallization was 121 mg. Calculate the percent recovery from recrystallization.

Answer 1

85.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass before recovery = 141 mg

Mass after recrystallization = 121 mg

Percent recovery of recrystallization = actual mass / mass of crude extract * 100 = 121 / 141 * 100 = 85.82%
