The solubility of benzoic acid in water is 6.80g per 100mL at 100 degrees C and 0.34 g per 100mL at 25 degrees C.
Calculate the maximum theoretical percent recovery from the recrystallization of 1.00 g of benzoic acid from 15 mL of water, assuming the solution is filtered at 25 degrees C.
My calculation was:
15 mL x 0.34 g/100 mL = 0.051 g
