Practice question
Question
Which technique is most suitable for separating a mixture of two solids, one of which is soluble in ethanol and the other insoluble, both with high melting points?
Explanation
Crystallization uses differential solubility (e.g., ethanol) to dissolve one solid and recrystallize it, leaving the insoluble one behind, ideal when melting points are irrelevant.
