The best recrystallization solvent for benzil was ethanol. what would be the consequence of using acetone as the recrystallization solvent for benzil? explain.

Recrystallization is another method of purification of solids in which an impure solid is crystallize repeatedly to obtain amore pure solid and a larger one. Ethanol is better suited as solvent in recrystallization of benzene than acetone because it becomes soluble with benzene at a higher temperature. Ethanol is non polar and may react well with benzyl but acetone are is non polar. A difference in their polarity, especially in heating both benzyl and the solvent can lead to more impurities that cannot be removed.
