Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 2E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation : The reason of using finely divided rather than whole nutmeg needs to be specified in the extraction.
Concept Introduction : Nutmeg is a source of Trimyristin. Trimyristin is extracted from nutmeg by mixing ground nutmeg with diethyl ether and heating the mixture under gentle reflux.

For either of these solvents explain why it would be a better choice as a recrystallization solvent than the other (water vs. ethanol).
TRUE OR FALSE, if false then give the correct word to make the statement true then explain
1. Sublimation occurs when a solid has a relatively high vapor pressure at a temperature [above] its melting point.
2. To isolate the desired chemical, a single extraction is [more efficient] than extracting the compound numerous times.
3. The compounds are separated in liquid-liquid extraction based on their relative solubilities in two [immiscible] liquids.
Diethyl ether and methylene chloride are generally not suitable for use in recrystallization, but are frequently used as extraction solvents. Explain
