In the first recrystallization, after the solid has been dissolved in warm acetone, the solution is allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. In an older procedure the warm solution was placed directly into an ice bath. How does this older procedure differ from a normal recrystallization and what might be the consequences

    See explanation below.

    Explanation:

    In the older procedure, the solution is cooled so quickly that the recrystallization can be less effective. By allowing the solution to cool slowly, the maximum amount of crystal is formed, and also the impurities are trapped, so the process is more controlled than by the older one.
