The solubility of acetanilide in hot water (5.5 g/100 ml at 100∘c) is not very great, and its solubility in cold water (0.53 g/ 100 ml at 0 ∘c) is significant. what would be the maximum theoretical percent recovery from the crystallization of 5.0 g of acetanilide from 100 ml water? (assuming the solution is chilled at 0 ∘c).

89.4%

Explanation:

Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.

So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g

The percent recovery is:

(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%

where's the diagram?

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
