Have you ever wondered how to remove impurities from a solid? How can you be sure you’ve removed them if you do? Step into our recrystallization lab to learn how to purify a solid and check for its purity level!
University / College
This is the full-length version of the “Recrystallization” simulation. You can also play the simulation in two smaller parts: "Recrystallization: Filter your crystals and measure the melting point" and "Recrystallization: Dissolve your solid and precipitate your crystals."
How can we purify a solid?
In this simulation, you will learn step by step how to purify a solid by using the recrystallization technique, and on top of that you will be able to filtrate your solid and check for its melting point range.
Recrystallize, filter, and check purity!
At the end of the simulation you will master three different techniques (yes you heard that right; three!): recrystallization, suction filtration, and melting point range.
Accelerated learning
Master the three techniques in a fraction of the time that it would take you in a real lab. Thanks to our ability to fast-forward time in our virtual labs, you’ll be able to skip all those waiting times in the process.
Understand the entire process and complete it step-by-step
You will apply three different techniques, but don’t worry, you will be presented with a whole overview of the process together with detailed instructions on how to complete the protocol. You’ll never be alone!
