Introduction The purpose of this lab is to purify four solid compounds: resorcinol, anthracene, benzoic acid, and 4-amino 1-napthalenslfonic acid, sodium salt. This is achieved by using water, toluene, and ligroin as solvents. The solubility of the compounds in said solvents must be tested at low and high temperatures. Then, the solution can be recrystallized. Finally, the product is filtered, using either a Pasteur pipette or suction filtration. Experiment In the lab, the sand bath was turned on to…
