Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Question

Describe the method, which can be used to separate two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent S.

Answer

The two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent S can be separated by the method of crystallisation. Crystallisation is used to separate two compounds with different solubilities in a solvent 'S'. the less soluble component will crystallise first then and the more soluble component will crystallise on heating again and then cool it. This process is known as fractional crystallisation.
