Recrystallization and Melting Point Analysis

Now that we have covered some important separation techniques, let's take a look at a purification technique. Sometimes a chemical reaction will produce a solid, which can precipitate from solution. But these crystals typically contain impurities from solution that were trapped in the lattice as it formed. After we isolate these crystals, we can purify them via recrystallization. This is where we dissolve them in a particular hot solvent that will then retain any impurities before cooling it down such that it can crystallize again. We will also learn how to assess the purity of our recrystallized product using melting point analysis. This is neat stuff!

Perfect video and explanation of concepts, and just in time for my students’ lab practical on recrystallization. Thanks Professor Dave!

[@23100Battlefield]

I had my lab on this three weeks ago! Wish Dave had this video earlier, you really have labs late in the term, it's our exam period rn

[@Dylan-cv7kj]

Science is so cool

[@triple_gem_shining]

Moon is flat tho . Lol jk

[@ariiibaby05]

Right

[@markshort9098]

Yes, yes it is

[@eddielikesfish7114]

i literally just learnt about this in chemistry lol. we are going to be making asprin with this method in january

[@cancan1231ify]

Hey, I have friends and roommates that work for Thermo Fischer scientific. What a fun coincidence that they sponsored one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@thomaseddyson362]

Thank you. I always appreciate the effort you go to with your videos. Well presented with just enough of the required ephemera.

[@nicco-sixty]

Will you do more in-depth concepts in multivariable calculus, like the Jacobian matrix?

[@hananehanane3860]

I hope to see more techniques explanation in your channel. Thanks Prof Dave

[@henna_nenna]

you are saving the life of every ochem college student thank you so much

[@harrybrielmann189]

very complete! And I agree that trituration (forcing the solvent out by the addition of a less soluble solvent) often results in a less pure product.

[@louisnemzer6801]

My favorite organic chemistry purification method!

[@martinarenzi4744]

Thank you Prof Dave! As always so precise and clear

[@MSA_fansite]

I love you mr.dave you are really helping beyond imagination

[@sandunimihirangika5363]

Thank you

[@prixynealojado6998]

You're my hero, Professor Dave 🫶

. Synthesis of 2-Amino-4-(substituted-phenyl)-1, 3-thi- azole Derivatives

[@vspqrv9784]

such a high quality video and explanation

[@WanderTheNomad]

5:17 Why do we have to use the minimum amount of solvent? Is it just to avoid wasting it or something? Or is there another reason?

[@keypo790]

Its because the experiments relies on Solubility Curve.

[@user-qe8gy1zv2i]

its better to use the smallest amount of solvent to minimize the amount of material lost by retintion in the mother liqour

[@StephOnyia]

You are a pro 😮 Including the guy in the laboratory 😊

[@similosihlegqalisisa8211]

I'm subscribing now Prof❤❤❤

[@TomasElizabeth]

So super cool

[@rozana4470]

When are the other videos coming cause i start OC lab this week😭

[@milviodeleon4421]

Wow comments on. Good job 👍

[@enzoshii]

Crystals did not form in our experiment. What could have gone wrong?

[@RevilHermes]

I remember doing much simpler version with salt.

[@krabre1848]

hi

[@rassimsimou1594]

Good

[@I_only_think_of_me]

Fascinating

[@gamingwithrksaver4868]

We used to do these for derivative tests... and then match the m.p. to literature value to confirm the compound

[@harrybrielmann189]

it's ok if the impurity is insoluble, just filter it out while hot.

[@harrybrielmann189]

oh you covered that, nice.

[@TheCosmicGuy0111]

Wowza

[@chrisaltaawesome]

thank youuu

[@judeboys6409]

This video reminds me of being a meth head in my 20s. Wouldn’t recommend it 😂. I used to “wash” it in acetone. To clean out impurities .. Have no clue what that was doing scientifically. But it sure made you higher 😅😮. Hey Dave. What would be the science of that lol ? You probably more an idea than I

[@tiptop1681]

Finally i can do this with my meth. Thanks

[@livingcodex9878]

おはようございます

[@Linda-hn3bh]

👍😌

[@worldsfinestsimp6421]

TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

[@desmond3828]

immunology?!

🙂👍

[@krabre1848]

idk whats happening but cool

[@krabre1848]

omg i remember this in year 7

[@DavidP089]

2 million subs and your videos barely reach 10k views 🤔🤔🤔

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Learn how educational channels work, sweetie.

[@KasaJiso]

First comment, day to of “do more flat earth vids they blew up.” Sorry not first I was too long to write the comment :(

[@Gxlto]

Sorry man I dont think he will. It's kind of dead at this point. I hope he does more creationism debunking

[@white_isnt_a_race2338]

Educate me daddy

[@ansammkh1681]

thank you
