Explain the basic principles behind re-crystallization and distillation. Be certain to identify their similarities and differences.
Added by Rebecca M.
Step 1
The basic principle behind this process is that a solid compound is dissolved in a solvent at high temperatures, and then the solution is cooled down slowly. As the solution cools, the solubility of the compound decreases, and it starts to crystallize out of the Show more…
